Dear PhD Students, Colleagues, and Readers,

It is a great pleasure to present the proceedings of the JUNIORSTAV conference, a long-standing event that for more than 25 years has supported young researchers in civil engineering.

A year has passed since the last conference, and once again, we are pleased to welcome PhD students from many universities in the Czech Republic and abroad. The goal of JUNIORSTAV remains the same – to give young scientists a friendly space to present their work, discuss new ideas, and learn from each other.

The conference is organized by the Faculty of Civil Engineering at Brno University of Technology, the oldest faculty of the university, which proudly continues its 125-year tradition of education and research in engineering.

Besides scientific presentations, the conference is also a meeting point for students, researchers, and professionals. We believe that many new contacts and collaborations will start here and continue into future projects.

We thank all participants, reviewers, and organizers for their valuable contributions. We hope that JUNIORSTAV 2025 will be both inspiring and enjoyable for everyone.
