It would be only half-witted decision of general contractors to put profits on priority during infrastructure development and civilians’ safety, secondary, against natural calamities such as earthquakes, floods, blizzards etc. To construct disaster resilient buildings and infrastructure; structural engineers, civil engineers, steel and rebar detailers keep themselves updated with constantly evolving earthquake engineering and sciences of seismic natural occurrences.
Researchers have designed fiber-reinforced concrete beams, base isolated buildings and what not. However, these AEC professionals forget the most widely used technology, BIM for Structural Engineers, in today’s construction practices. BIM technology holds all the four aces to turn the game of infrastructure development in favor of structural and civil engineers.
By leveraging BIM technology, proportionately, structural engineers can reach the zenith of building and infrastructure development. BIM along with a…
