Sumario:[EN] The revolution towards Industry 4.0 in the AECO Industry has taken Building Information Modelling (BIM) as one of its central points. BIM abilities for automatization, interoperability and sustainability play a key role in this change. In this paper, a literature review about BIM adoption for the structural project is presented. The aim of the presented review is to clearly establish the current state of knowledge of the implementation of the BIM methodology in the field of structural analysis. Papers related to these two topics simultaneously, BIM and structure analysis, during the last 10 years have been selected. The literature has been analysed from two different approaches. First, bibliometric analysis has been performed, studying the production on the topic. Secondly, 81 representative papers have been selected and analysed, establishing thematic areas via cluster analysis. The articles have also been classified upon several categorizations based on the structural life cycle and their aim. Finally, a SWOT analysis is performed from this data to create a complete framework that shows the state of the integration of the structural project in BIM environments and possible future developments and risks. This set of studies shows a tendency towards design tools and new buildings. While automatization and computer-aided design have been a trend in the research for several years, a research gap on the structural analysis via BIM for existing and heritage buildings has been pointed out, showing its ability to improve the analysis of existing buildings and its maintenance.
