Abstract

Super-tall buildings are becoming increasingly prevalent, and in the future, super-tall buildings may become a major field of civil engineering. Due to its characteristics, BIM and AI need to be used to solve the problem. Now, BIM and AI are becoming more and more popular, and super-tall buildings have some questions that BIM can easily answer. This study identifies key challenges, such as wind effects and space efficiency. To address these challenges, a comprehensive analysis of existing literature and case studies was conducted. This study analyzes the problem and searched for much research to find others’ findings on these questions. The proposed solutions leverage AI algorithms for predictive wind analysis and BIM for spatial configuration optimization, and support these suggestions with a comprehensive review of existing literature. This study found the questions super-tall buildings faced and reasonable ways to solve the problem. The study underscores the potential of AI-BIM integration to enhance the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of future super-tall buildings.
