Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering (LNCE) publishes the latest developments in

Civil Engineering - quickly, informally and in top quality. Though original research

reported in proceedings and post-proceedings represents the core of LNCE, edited

volumes of exceptionally high quality and interest may also be considered for

publication. Volumes published in LNCE embrace all aspects and subfields of, as

well as new challenges in, Civil Engineering. Topics in the series include:

• Construction and Structural Mechanics

• Building Materials

• Concrete, Steel and Timber Structures

• Geotechnical Engineering

• Earthquake Engineering

• Coastal Engineering

• Hydraulics, Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering

• Environmental Engineering and Sustainability

• Structural Health and Monitoring

• Surveying and Geographical Information Systems

Preface

First held in Sydney in 1967, ACMSM is one of the longest-running conferences of

its kind, taking place every 2–3 years either in Australia or in New Zealand. In

2018, ACMSM in Brisbane is celebrating its 50th golden anniversary. Despite this

luminous heritage, it persists as a premier forum not only for participants from

Australia and New Zealand but also for the global community to review, discuss

and present the latest developments and innovations in the broad discipline of

structural mechanics and materials in civil engineering. The conference also pre￾sents an ideal platform for participants to renew friendships and establish new

collaborative relationships. For your information, this golden ACMSM25 has

attracted over 240 participants from 15 countries and 4 continents. There were over

230 papers presented at the conference.

This ACMSM25 e-conference proceedings contains a selected set of 104 papers

that cover almost all the topics in mechanics of structures and materials. We hope

that the papers in this volume of proceedings will trigger new ideas in your pro￾fessional work and research.

We wish to express our sincere gratitude to all authors and reviewers of the

papers as well as the sponsors (i.e. MOOG, Griffith University, University of

Queensland, Springer, STRUCOMP and NanoCOMM Hub) whose contributions

have made this conference possible.
