Generating an up-to-date BIM that accurately reflects as-built conditions is becoming
necessary for ensuring fit between assemblies and construction sites. If an initial BIM (“proto …

In this paper, a new semi-automatic procedure to transform three-dimensional point clouds
of complex objects to three-dimensional finite element models is presented and validated …

The paper analyzes the seismic vulnerability of the historical complex of “San Francesco”
located in Cagli, Marche Region, Italy. It provides both advanced 3D modelling with solid …

Digital twin (DT) technology enables the creation of DT that are synchronized with the state
and behavior of physical entities. DT simulates physical entities, which can enable the …

This paper presents a framework for the three-dimensional structural analysis of full scale,
geometrically complex rubble masonry structures from point clouds generated from Structure …

This paper introduces an automatic, powerful and easy to use procedure for undertaking
stability analyses of leaning historic masonry structures, based on an upper bound finite …

In the mine production process, pre-established geological models should be updated in a
timely manner based on new geologic and mining data. Three-dimensional (3D) geological …

Proper documentation is fundamental to providing structural health monitoring, damage
identification and failure assessment for Cultural Heritage (CH). Three-dimensional models …

Cultural heritage's structural changes and damages can influence the mechanical behaviour
of artefacts and buildings. The use of finite element methods (FEM) for mechanical analysis …

Abstract 3D laser scanning can serve the geometric deformation detection of steel
structures. However, the process of handling large-scale point clouds remains labor …
