This paper content is structure subjected sudden story drift as a result from earthquakes, forming hinges and eventually collapsing. The aim of this paper is to develop building thirty story building for seismic in Khartoum using finite element method (FEM) and the equivalent lateral force (ELF) procedure of American code ASCE 7-16. In current work the thirty-story reinforced concrete building was considered is to analyze the seismic behavior of the reinforced concrete structure to find the drift between the story by finding the maximum displacement from the program that causes the building to collapse, by choosing the shear wall as the support system to resist the lateral load and by looking to model the building inclined to the horizontal plane. Calculations were also made on the drift between the story to compare with the allowable drift. It is implemented in the Robot structural program - an ingenious program for designing and analyzing lateral (seismic) loads.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is considered a fundamental tool in the architecture, engineering and construction industry. BIM is the future of the AEC industry. Utilizing digital engineering tools such as BIM in the construction industry helps to detect economic and social benefits by enhancing productivity, improving visualization, and ensuring better communication. In spite of the enormous improvement of BIM application in the AEC business, there are many challenges that make the selection of this new technology a lot harder. The focus of this paper is to investigate the current extent of adopting the BIM technology in Iraq. Furthermore, this paper aims to identify the benefits of using BIM and the most common obstacles for applying BIM in the AEC industry in Iraq. For the purpose of this study, we prepared an online survey and sent out 85 invitations. There are numerous factors that prevent or at least discourage the use of BIM in construction projects. Resistance to change and lack of government support are among the most important of these factors. The survey results showed that the most common tools preferred by BIM users in Iraq are AutoCAD, STAAD.Pro, and Primavera p6. Finally, the results indicate that the BIM state in Iraq is not satisfactory because most of the people involved have less than 3 years of experience working with the BIM technology.

Owners are responsible for performing necessary maintenance on their buildings, and they should do so whenever possible to maintain capital and ensure people’s safety while using the buildings. Lack of information and data prevents construction managers from effectively managing building assets and making decisions during the operation and maintenance phases. In Iraq, a large portion of the data used from building managers is still on paper. Construction managers face challenges due to a lack of information and data when making decisions about building assets during the operation and maintenance phases. It is clear today that the construction industry is witnessing significant growth in a numerous of areas, particularly as the sector’s demand for labor and materials grows. Building information modeling (BIM), which has grown to be closely related to all aspects of the project at various stages from planning through construction to project closing, is one of the most essential aspects of rapid development. This article presents the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for construction facility management. One of the purposes is helping to reduce maintenance costs and extend the life of project components. The study’s aim is to determine the impact of integrating building information modeling with maintenance management 6D/BIM by presenting a methodology utilizing BIM-FM workflow and the creation of a user-friendly comprehensive system which include information about the facility and components as well as maintenance, in addition to identify the barriers to using 6D/BIM in construction industry.
