Construction and Application of the Teaching Mode for the Building Structure Course Based on BIM Technology

Abstract

The long-standing two-dimensional graphical representation and discretized mechanical analysis paradigm in the building structure course have caused significant information transmission losses when presenting the spatial topological relationships of complex systems and the collaborative logic of multiple disciplines. BIM technology, with its core feature of using a parametric three-dimensional digital model as the sole data source, provides a technical pivot for reconstructing the information carrier and interactive depth of structural teaching. This paper, based on an examination of the limitations of existing teaching methods, analyzes the adaptation mechanism between the core representations of BIM and the essential elements of structural teaching. Then, it constructs a teaching mode for the building structure course based on BIM technology from three dimensions: the hierarchical resetting of teaching objectives, the modular reorganization of teaching content, and the integrated design of visualized evaluation. Furthermore, it proposes a systematic implementation framework covering stage division, resource clustering, and adaptive guidance. This mode aims to shift structural teaching from passive verification to a cognitive level of active optimization and collaborative decision-making.
