The detailing of a structure is completed in order to carry out proper construction and provide the necessary details needed for ductility and failure prevention through various design parameters and standards. Ductility refers to a reinforced concrete member’s capacity to withstand significant deflection before failing. This property of reinforced concrete is important since it predicts failure and helps to avert overall destruction and failure. This is specifically true in earthquakeprone areas. For structural detailing, many design regulations and detailing guidelines are utilized. Reviewing the nonseismic and seismic details of RCC area elements is the primary purpose of this research article. Discussion on the potential of BIM tools in the structural detailing of area elements is carried out, along with a review of the literature and interviews with structural engineers. For BIM tools, the nonavailability of specific features was highlighted as a barrier to helping with the automation of selecting rebars for RCC area elements. We conclude with an overview and a comprehensive description of several features of seismic and nonseismic RCC area elements. Additionally, emphasis is given to the BIM tool’s recent breakthroughs regarding structural aspects.
