This review study discusses the utilization of Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) 3D point cloud data in representing geometry for structural health monitoring (SHM) applications, particularly the so-called Scan-to-FEM method. The existing studies related to the topic are intensively presented and discussed along with the advantages and disadvantages of the modelling methods: meshing by whole and cross-section. Two case studies are conducted to show both modelling methods used for geometry representation for Scan-to-FEM method. Meshing by whole and cross-section methods result in the relative errors of respective 2.79% and 1.4% in the maximum displacement vector sum, compared to their reference models constructed by ABAQUS. It is also seen that the density and clarity of 3D point cloud data can bring well-shaped geometry for FE analysis and consequently produce good accuracy.
