These guidelines are for authors preparing manuscripts to be published in the Proceedings ofthe 31st Conference on Earthquake Engineering, JSCE, being held at Institute of industrial Science, Tokyo University in 17-19 Nov, 2011. The abstract should present information and results in capsule form and should be brief and objective, containing within 7 lines maximum the content and conclusions of the paper. The topic sentence should give the overall scope and should be followed by emphasis on new information. Omit references, criticisms, drawings, and diagrams.
Key words: / Times, italic, 10pt, several words, immediately below ABSTRACT, indent if key words exceed one line1
1. INTRODUCTION
In order to keep a homogeneous appearance of the Proceedings, some instructions for typing your papers are presented here. The use of thisproceeding's MS Word template file is strongly encouraged.Please follow the instructions as close as possible. Authors using other word processors should follow the style given in this template file. Each file must be then transformed into PDF-formatted file smaller than 3 MB, and be submitted electronically. Submitted PDF files as they are will be published in proceedings DVD.
2. PAGE FORMAT AND MARGINS, SPACING AND TYPES
Use A4 white paper sheets (21cm x 29.7cm). Each manuscriptcan be any length, however, is recommended to be more than 4 pages if the authors plan to submit it to peer-reviewed journal aftermath.Put a header “Proceedings of the 31st Conference on Earthquake Engineering, JSCE, 2011” in 10pt at the right top of the first page, as indicated. Put the page number centered at the foot of each page.The first page is made up of two parts.
(a)Front matter (title, authors, affiliations, abstract, key words) in single column that is followed by:
(b) Main text: in double columns.
The top and bottom margins are set at 20 mm and 25 mm respectively. Both left and right margins are set at 20 mm, and the width of the front matter is 10 mm narrower than that for the main text. The following items for the front matter should be arranged in the following order:
Title:Leave one line and then type the TITLE of your paper in 18-point Times or Times New Roman Bold typeface; all uppercase letters, centered on the page followed by:
(2-lines space)
Authors: Times-Roman, 12pt.Last names should be all in uppercase letters. Affiliations are cited by superscripts as shown in the above example.
(1-line space)
Affiliations: Times-Roman, 9pt.write cities, countries and e-mail addresses of all authors, as indicated.
(2-lines space)
Abstract: Times-Roman, 10pt, max. 7 lines.
(1-line space)
Key Words: Times-Italic, 10pt, several words,max. 2 lines.
3.MAIN BODY OF MANUSCRIPT
After three lines, start the main body of your paper. All parts of the main body must be typed single-spaced in Times or Times New Roman 11-point typeface. Dot-matrix type is unacceptable. Margins of 2.5 cm should be allowed on both left and right sides of the text. The ordinary pages, starting from the second page, contain the main text from the top line. Avoid footnotes and remarks. Explain in the main text, or in Appendices. Use at most three levels of headings, i.e., First-level heads, Second-level subheads and if necessary, Third-level subheads. All headings of different ranks should be typed using uppercase and/or lowercase letters as shown below.
(1) First-level head
11-point Times or Times New Roman Bold; All uppercase letters; put the head number first. Flush left on its own line; two lines and one-line spaces before and after head, respectively.
(2) Second-level subhead
11-point Times or Times New Roman Bold; put the sub-head number in parentheses. First word begins with uppercase letter, all other words begin with lowercase letters except for proper nouns; flush left on its own line; one-line space before subhead.
Third-level subhead (if necessary):11-point Times or Times New Roman Bold Italic; After putting colon, run into text; first word begins with uppercase letter, all other words begin with lowercase letters except for proper nouns; flush left on its own line; one-line space before subhead.
Do not indent the first line after a heading; First lines of the other text paragraphs should be indented as indicated here. Do not leave blank lines between paragraphs.
4. FIGURES, TABLES AND PHOTOS
Figures and tables shall be legible and well reproducible, and photos shall be clear. Colored figures, tables and photo are accepted. Captions shall be written directly beneath figures and photos and above tables, and shall be numbered as Figure 1, Table 1 or Photo 1. They should be written in 11pt centered. Long captions shall be indented.
Figure 1. Long-traveling soil flow: Color figures are allowed in the Proceedings (Click here for a 432kB GIF animation)
Table 1 Mechanical properties
Young’s modulus: / 5×107 N/m2Poisson’s ratio: / 0.47
Density: / 1700 kg/m3
Internal friction angle: / 0.5 rad
Cohesion: / 9800 N/m2
Strength reduction: / Cohesion is reduced by 50%
Figures, tables and photos shall be putin the upper position on the same page where they are cited for the first time. Do not place figures, tables and photos altogether at the end of manuscripts. Figures, tables and photos should occupy the whole width of either a column or a page, and do not place any text besides figures, tables and photos. Leave one line spacing above and bottom of figures, tables and photos. Do not use small fonts in figures and tables. Their size should be at least 9 pt. or larger.
Color figures are allowed in the Proceedings. But implicitly, they will appear as grey-scale images when printed, and it will be often likely that their colored information (like a color map in Figure 1) will not be correctly reproduced with gray halftones.
Animated images (GIF-formatted animations for example) and/or movies can be linked with some parts of your paper. But your paper must be fully complete when printed. For the publication on DVD, total size of your paper with animations and movies that you wish to include should not be larger than 3.0Mb. If copyrighted material is linked, the author should obtain the necessary copyright release and submit it along with the manuscript. Describe the types of format, sizes of files at the buttons you put in your manuscript as shown in the title of Figure 1. Animation and Movie files that you provide will be put in the same folder with your manuscript.
5. EQUATIONS AND SYMBOLS
Use high quality fonts for both mathematical equations and symbols. Papers with hand-written mathematical equations and symbols are not accepted. Equations should be centered and numbered as
(1)
The equation number, enclosed in parentheses, is placed flush right. Equations should be cited in the text as Equation (1).
6. UNIT
Use the International System of units (metric) in captions, illustrations, and text. Measurements in feet are allowed in some circumstances, such as elevation measurements that correlate to topographic maps. In such cases, authors must provide metric equivalents in parentheses.
7. CONCLUSIONS
Write a CONCLUSIONS section at the end of your paper, followed by ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, APPENDICES and REFERENCES. All references mentioned in the text, figures, captions, tables, and appendixes must be listed in the References Cited section. All references must be numbered in the order of citation and the right parenthesized numbers shall be put above authors’ namesin the text like Gibson1).Only references cited in the paper are to be listed. Do not cite or list papers that are in preparation, submitted, in review, or in revision. Do not abbreviate journal titles or book publishers in references. Include the city of publication for books. For references that do not match any of the examples given here, include all information that would help a reader locate the reference.Necessary references in the list can be linked with their PDF files put in the same folder (See the list below) as long as the total size of your paper with additional files (including animations and movies) stays below 3.0Mb.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT: Acknowledgment should follow Conclusions and its text should be preceded by bold face heading directly.
APPENDIX 1:DERIVATION OF EQ. (1)
The Appendix is optional and contains brief descriptions of methods, laboratory techniques, and other supplementary information. Title all appendixes (for example, APPENDIX 1. SAMPLE DESCRIPTIONS); number appendixes only if there are two or more. Place appendices at the end of the text before the references cited. Tables and figures within the Appendix should be numbered separately from the text (e.g., Figure A1, Figure A2, Table A1, etc.).
