Abstract Accurate geometric and structural data are essential for the development of digital twins for existing infrastructure systems, particularly in the context of building resilience. Many older or poorly documented structures either lack as-built plans or exhibit deviations from the original design due to construction inconsistencies, undocumented modifications, or repairs. As a result, capturing current structural conditions becomes a necessary first step for generating reliable analytical models, conducting…
