This special edition presents the results of investigations into three areas that define the technological present and future of machinery, materials engineering, and construction: structural metal processing, additive manufacturing, and building materials.
Topics include rolling, roll casting, gravity casting, and alloy development, each crucial for enhancing the strength, durability, and formability of metals used in high-load-bearing applications across sectors like aerospace, automotive, civil engineering, etc.
The special edition is intended for researchers, engineers, graduate students, and industry professionals in materials science, mechanical engineering and construction.
By bridging traditional and emerging techniques, the book provides a broad yet detailed perspective on the future of engineered materials.

Keywords: Development prospects of integration of solar energy with building, photo thermal system, photovoltaic thermal system, energy-saving building
Abstract.
After detailed analysis of development prospects and constraints in integration of solar energy with building so as to investigate how to implement this integration process, Conclusion shows the study will work in engineering practice with the guiding purpose of guiding energy efficiency guiding.
Just for theses reasons, there is no proper built-in-fitting device in primary civil engineering stage, which causes troubles for installing solar equipment.

Keywords: clay wall, thermotechnical properties of clay, renovation of clay external wall
Abstract
Article describes the problem of heat cladding in family houses built from unburnt clay, that do not represent listed buildings and had already undergone various reconstructions (restorations).
Presented are measurements of basic thermotechnical properties of clay wall in historical family house and analysed is fragment of clay wall in its original condition and after renovation, considering building heat engineering requirements.
It is obvious, that civil engineering in its history, has been influenced by clay architecture [1].
Until recently, no much of interest had been given by architects or building engineers, to make an attemt for reconstruction and adjustment of such houses to current inhabitant requirements.

PREFACE
The understanding of damage evolution in engineering materials, systems and
structures is currently one of the most important areas of engineering research.
This conference is the founh in a series of biennial international conferences, the objective of which is to bring together the expertise of scientists and engineers in academia and industry in the field of damage assessment, structural health monitoring and no ndestructive evaluation.
The type of structure studied also varies widely and techniques highlighted here apply in many engineering fields, in particular Mechanical and Civil Engineering.
The various levels of support provided by the SIDANET EPS.RC network, the Institute of Physics Stress and Vibration Group and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers are all gratefully acknowledged.

Abstract.
As construction space becomes increasingly constrained, the need to avoid collision among various HVAC, sewage and electronic pipes has become a pressing concern for modern building engineering projects.
The procedure of model building and how the virtual construction vehicle has advantages in designing quality by means of improving engineering effects and benefits.
The application of BIM in building engineering project is shown in Fig.1.
After that engineers can finish their designs in preparation for bidding or projects.
