AUTOMATION OF TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION FOR REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES IN A BIM ENVIRONMENT: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS

The paper reviews the current state of automation of technical documentation for reinforced concrete structures in a BIM environment; systematizes knowledge on possible pathways for developing automation from the standpoint of software architecture logic. A mixed approach combining AI-based solutions and direct algorithms is adopted as the most probable route for advancing the automation of technical documentation for reinforced concrete structures. The work also identifies promising directions for further research to advance design automation in general.
