Engineering Materials Structures Systems and Methods for a More Sustainable Future

<p><em>Engineering Materials Structures Systems and Methods for a More Sustainable Future</em> comprises 275 papers that were presented at SEMC 2025 the Ninth International Conference on Structural Engineering Mechanics and Computation. This event held in Cape Town (South Africa) from 1 to 3 September 2025 was attended by around 300 participants from 42 countries worldwide.</p><p>The Proceedings are divided into 15 sections. The various topics may be grouped into five broad categories covering: (i) the mechanics of materials solids and structures; (ii) numerical modelling computational simulations and experimental testing; (iii) analysis design and construction in the traditional engineering materials; (iv) innovative engineering materials structures and methods; (v) maintenance long-term performance life-cycle considerations and sustainable construction.</p><p>Engineering Materials Structures Systems and Methods for a More Sustainable Future will be of interest to civil structural mechanical marine and aerospace engineers as well as planners and architects. Two versions of the papers are available: full papers of length six pages are included in the e-book while short papers of length two pages intended to be concise but self-contained summaries of the full papers are in the printed book.</p>
