Integrated BIM design for structures combining reinforced concrete with steel
The link between reinforced concrete and steel profiles makes it possible to build economical structures with a small footprint, such as factory or industrial buildings. Whereas the CAD module used for concrete construction is dominated by structural components such as walls, columns, beams, foundation or floor slabs, steel structures designed with a CAD system comprise digital rolled profiles, trussed or castellated beams, gusset plates, wall plates, and bolted or welded connections. This is why buildings that combine these two materials usually require the use of several CAD tools and...
