Abstract:  Building information model (BIM) is a popular technology in the field of building industry, while the topic of multi-hazards is the forefront in the field of disaster prevention of buildings. If BIM technology is applied to the multi-hazards research, it can provide a sharing and consistent data model for this field, which improves the utility rate of the data and ensure the conformity of analysis models for different disasters. Based on the database of CNKI and Web of Science, the domestic and international researches focusing on BIM, earthquake, wind and fire are investigated, and the key words of different research directions are summarized. In general terms, the research on BIM and multi-hazards is in a start-up stage and needs to be developed further.

Key words: BIM, multi-hazards, buildings, review, visualization
