“…Notwithstanding the above, there is still not a unanimously accepted method for information transfer at the structural design stage, and so it continues to be the weak link in BIM model workflows [8]. It is therefore essential to be able to solve this latter barrier and efficiently incorporate structural area processes into the work chain of typical projects, taking advantage of the fact that the success of BIM depends, to a large extent, on the efficient exchange of information generated by different disciplines [9]. BIM implementation within a structural engineering company is not a trivial task, as it represents a complete evolution of the way the work process develops [10].…”

Structural engineering companies (SECs) currently have a series of deficiencies that hinder their processes and interactions, decreasing their productivity, lacking collaborative and interconnected processes, not including current work methodologies such as building information modeling (BIM). e BIM methodology seeks to integrate processes and professionals involved in engineering tasks by working on platforms with coordinated and intelligent 3D virtual models. BIM has great potential for structural engineering companies (SEC) and solves their most salient problems. is paper defines a methodology to implement BIM in the SEC, focused on solving the complexities of the design phase, those that make the implementation of BIM in these offices a nontrivial task. Characterized by the optimization of resources, flexibility, and adaptability, the methodology proposed for BIM implementation within SEC clearly and objectively identifies the resources and expectations of the organizations, sets out the requirements necessary to develop the BIM methodology, and provides practical and technical recommendations for planning and monitoring the implementation.

“…They may act as bearing walls to support vertical loads transferred from the roofing system. They may be adopted as a cladding system where they are mainly subjected to wind-induced forces [11]. Depending on the soil nature and the applied loads, different foundation systems may be used for agricultural buildings.…”

Agriculture buildings have their own features due to the relatively complex system with large openings for adequate ventilation. This study aims to deal with these special aspects of the agricultural buildings via simulation. Empirical wind force distributions that have been developed from wind tunnels to be used for traditional buildings may be inapplicable for the agricultural buildings. This study presents a competitive solution based on the virtual wind tunnel technique. Different buildings with different aspect ratios have been simulated in the Revit environment to mimic their structures, claddings, and openings for doors and windows. These models have been exported to the Robot software where the underneath soils have been modeled and virtual wind simulations have been achieved. Results have been presented in normalized forms that clearly distinguish between the opening effects on the global and local behaviors of buildings under the wind induced forces. Keywords: Building information modeling (BIM); finite element, soil simulation RESUMEN/ Los edificios agrícolas tienen sus propias características debido al sistema relativamente complejo con grandes aberturas para una ventilación adecuada.

Se han simulado diferentes edificios con diferentes relaciones de aspecto en el entorno de Revit para imitar sus estructuras, revestimientos y aberturas para puertas y ventanas. Estos modelos se han exportado al software Robot donde se han modelado los suelos debajo y se han logrado simulaciones de viento virtuales. Los resultados se han presentado en formas normalizadas que distinguen claramente entre los efectos de apertura en el comportamiento global y local de los edificios bajo las fuerzas inducidas por el viento. Palabras clave: Modelado de información de construcción (BIM); elemento finito, simulación del suelo

“…This global approach is widely offered by BIM applications, which propose different objectives compared to traditional CAD, considering parametric data coupled to each building system used in the project (new physical and dimensional properties are added to the vector lines comprising the conventional pattern in two or three dimensions). In all, this process of constructive modeling provides a better understanding of the physics of materials, constructive parts and building systems used in architectural projects [6,7].…”

The use of BIM technology (Building Information Modeling) in the architectural field is assuming a very important qualitative professional momentum by using specific constructive databases associated with conventional drawings from different perspectives at every construction level.One of the most demanded technical requirements within the building area today is the use pf 3D drawing programs, which become an indispensable training for students versus traditional design. Thus, the main objective of this proposal is to show the constructive application of this tool for teaching construction systems at the University of Alicante, providing an interesting working tool currently used in many architectural companies and building firms. The methodology and contents taught in the course consider a practical development so that the topics are gradually and successively explained, being a good opportunity to implement the study of new technologies related to construction.In conclusion, the use of BIM tools enriches students' skills (improving their expertise in the field of design and expanding their capacity for spatial vision) and faces the growing business needs in the construction field with indispensable qualities in the architectural practice.
