“…Structural engineering is a subset of civil engineering [46]. Available studies have targeted different issues of civil engineering projects concerning BIM: developments of BIM implementations [13]; communication modes [47]; information management frameworks [10]; refurbishment of historic buildings using BIM [16,48]; implementation of BIM to existing buildings [49]; sustainable buildings [8,50]; BIM adoption in different civil infrastructure facilities [26]; roles and responsibilities of BIM practitioners [51]; conceptualization of a BIM-based facilities management framework [52,53]; visualization technologies in safety management [21,23]; data classifications [54]; BIM knowledge mappings [14]; BIM research categories [55]; application of laser scan technology [56]; challenges facing the facilities management sector [52,57,58]; application of semantic web technologies; issues and recommendations for BIM and life cycle assessment tools [59]; BIM and GIS [60]; green BIM [61]; collaboration in BIM networks [19]; transportation infrastructure; road infrastructure [62]; highway maintenance [17]; role of BIM in generating big data [37], etc. ese studies have added much value to the BIM literature and have explored a wide range of fields associated with civil engineering.…”

“…Research on the integration of BIM within civil engineering is still in its infancy [9]. Few researchers have focused on civil engineering in particular [26]. Within the civil engineering field, a review run on the BIM literature reveals that some publications like that of Hunt [27] and Bartley [12] have promoted the benefits of BIM for structural engineers.…”

Building information modeling (BIM) is transforming the way of work across the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, where BIM offers vast opportunities for improving performance. BIM is therefore an area of great interest across the AEC industry in general and for the structural engineering field in particular. This paper is aimed at providing a broad picture of published papers that relate BIM with structural engineering. This overview will enhance understanding of the state of the research work on this subject, drawing upon bibliometric analysis of 369 papers. Findings provide an updated picture of how now-available studies that link BIM developments and applications in structural engineering are distributed chronologically, across journals, authors, countries, and institutions. Detailed analyses of citation networks present the cooccurrence map of keywords, citation patterns of journals and articles, the most cited journals, and the top 15 most cited articles on BIM in the area of structural engineering. Discussions demonstrate that research on BIM applications for structural engineering has been constantly growing with a sudden increase after 2014. This study reveals that research attempts on this area have been dominated by exploring generic issues of BIM like information management; however, technical issues of structural engineering, to be resolved through BIM capabilities, have remained overlooked. Moreover, the research work in this area is found to be conducted largely in isolation, comprising disjointed and fragmented research studies. Gaps and important areas for future research include modeling of structural components, automation of the assembly sequence, planning and optimization of off-site construction, and dynamic structural health monitoring.

“…Another key aspect to not forget is the possibility to define the project by means of different Levels of Development (LoD; also called Levels of Definition; [39][40][41]). They are used to classify the progression level of the informational model and affect the measure of the representation detail level for the 3D objects.…”

The BIM (Building Information Modeling) approach potential in the civil engineering field opened novel scenarios in the design idea concept, from planning to executive and constructive phases. The related advantages are numerous and not only limited to a real-time interaction among the involved subjects, that can actually operate in an optimized 3D shared environment. Owing to the sharing information philosophy and to the features of various "smart objects" combined in the project, this innovation reduces potential errors and increases the effectiveness of the design solution in terms of both functionality and cost. Despite these advantages, the highway alignment design problem remains very complicated and not easy to solve without appropriate supporting tools. In recent years, several efforts have been spent in defining highway optimization procedures for helping designers in the selection of an optimal solution in compliance with numerous different constraints. Introducing these procedures in a BIM environment may represent a crucial step in the improvement of the highway design procedures, exploiting the full representation and modelling potential of the approach. In this paper, the authors present the advantages of a 3D highway alignment optimization algorithm, based on the Particle Swarm Optimization method, and its possible implementation in a BIM platform. A proper I-BIM environment can exploit the potential of the alignment optimization algorithms, simplifying the analysis of the different solutions, the final representation and the eventual manual modifications.

“…BIM debe entenderse como un grupo de políticas, procesos y tecnologías que interactúan entre si formando una metodología para gestionar la planeación, diseño y construcción de edificaciones y proyectos de infraestructura. Con la implementación de BIM los datos del proyecto se encuentran en formato digital a lo largo de todo el ciclo de vida [4]. Según [5], aunque la implementación de BIM supone un considerable cambio tecnológico, promete actualmente proporcionar beneficios de gestión de información eficiente en la industria de la construcción [5].…”

Las decisiones cruciales en proyectos de construcción se toman en sus etapas iniciales. Además, una correcta planeación determina el éxito o fracaso de la ejecución, operación y mantenimiento de este tipo de proyectos. Con la metodología conocida como Building Information Modeling (BIM) es posible mejorar el resultado de la planeación mediante la implementación de modelos digitales en la toma de decisiones. En la presente investigación se propone una herramienta computacional que apoya la toma de decisiones financieras en la etapa de factibilidad integrando flujos de caja y modelos 4D. Esta herramienta permite mejorar la eficiencia de la planeación incrementando la precisión de los resultados de los indicadores de bondad económica que se analizan para la ejecución de proyectos de construcción.
