Significance of structural modeling in the overall

development of buildings
For the construction of high performing buildings it is necessary that all its individual disciplines
are designed meticulously by Architecture, Engineering and Construction professionals during
preconstruction. That means design development for individual building trades must be taken
very seriously for the overall development of the building. Structural modeling remains an
important step when it comes to inclusive development of building design, as it eventually
accounts for the strength of the building. Every time a building is constructed design and
construction professionals provide special attention towards elevating or improving its durability,
which largely rely on structural design.
When structural design is developed the entire concentration and attention of design and
construction professionals revolves around the production of such a design which can effectively
handle or withstand all kinds of applied loads. That means structural design should be developed
in such as way that it can resist all kinds of pressure and force without having any impact on the
life of the building. In short load resistance and its effective transmission remains the main
function of structural framework. Hence load calculations remains an important aspect of
structural design process which helps structural engineers to understand the load transmission
and handling capacity of structural elements. A building can be damaged from two types of loads
one is Dead load and another is Live load wherein the dead load refers to the load imposed on
the structure from buildings own components, whereas live load stands for such kind of load
that comes from natural and external forces such as winds, earthquakes and cyclones etc.
Structural BIM services is truly very crucial for the design and construction of structural
framework since it provide 3D view of structural design to AEC professionals, which ultimately
helps in identification of design discrepancies. That means structural design produced after
structural modeling helps in exhibiting structural element such as columns, beams and grids etc
in 3D form which allow structural engineers to evaluate the effectiveness of their design. The
quality of structural design can be immensely elevated after structural modeling as structural
elements can be compared with elements of other discipline such as architecture for figuring out
element clashes. In this manner error free structural design can be generated by AEC
professionals by executing structural modeling.
And effective structural design leads to the construction of powerful buildings.
