A Comprehensive Study of BIM for Infrastructural Crack Detection and the Vital Strategies

Building information modelling is one of the emerging technologies in the construction industry and is relevant to its productivity and efficiency. Application which affects the product and process of the industry. An underdeveloped area with less attention is its adoption for crack detection and visualisation for infrastructural maintenance. This study provides a thorough perspective on BIM adoption for crack detection and visualisation. It also identified the different strategies that can aid in the adoption and use of BIM for infrastructural monitoring and maintenance in South Africa. The study adopted a quantitative approach, and questionnaires were distributed to industry professionals through an online platform. The collected data was analysed. The results indicate a need for incorporation of this aspect into the HEI curriculum and a teaching approach that is practical and experimental to be adopted.
