Abstract

This paper presents a survey of machine learning methods used in applications dedicated to building and construction industry. A BIM model being a database system for civil engineering data is presented. A representative selection of methods and applications is described. The aim of this paper is to facilitate the continuation of research efforts and to encourage bigger participation of researchers in database systems in the filed of civil engineering.
