The integration of Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Building Information Modeling (BIM), and Internet of Things (IoT) with Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents a transformative shift in the architectural and engineering practices for large-span structures. This paper delves into the quantitative and qualitative enhancements brought about by these technologies, focusing on their pivotal roles in design precision, structural analysis, project management, and maintenance strategies. CAD's evolution from simple drafting to complex 3D modeling has significantly reduced design time and errors, while its integration with structural analysis software has improved load distribution accuracy and material cost efficiency. BIM's contribution to design, construction, and sustainability emphasizes optimized resource allocation and energy-efficient practices. Furthermore, IoT and AI's role in real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance underpins a proactive approach to structural health, ensuring longevity and safety. Through statistical analysis, mathematical modeling, and case studies, this paper highlights the synergistic impact of these technologies on reducing project timelines, enhancing collaboration, and fostering innovation in large-span structure engineering. The findings advocate for a multidisciplinary approach, combining engineering expertise with advanced computational tools to achieve superior outcomes in the construction and maintenance of large-span structures.
