Abstract

The abstract should be less than 200 words.

This document provides information and instructions for preparing a paper to be included in the Proceedings of the RILEM 2016 Conference. The paper has to be saved as .doc file. Papers will appear in print exactly as they have been prepared by the author. Therefore, it is essential that the paper be accurately and attractively presented.

The first page is reserved for the title of the paper, the authors, affiliation, keywords and authors’ contacts. This first page will not be reproduced in the proceedings of the Conference. On this first page, the name of the contact author will be underlined.

The paper itself must begin at the top of the second page (which is numbered as Page one). All the instructions as well as the source for the example can be found in the web page of the Conference.

The paper should be written following the format of Word template for submission that can be found in that address. The organizers do not commit themselves to include in the Proceedings any paper received later than the above-mentioned deadline.

1. Introduction

Authors should submit the paper electronically both in Word and in pdf file, through the web page of the Conference when available, http://www.citg.tudelft.nl/rilem-mci before February 15^th, 2016. The Paper should be written following the format of Word macros for submission that can be found in that address. The organizers do not commit themselves to include in the Proceedings any paper received later than the above-mentioned deadline. At least one of the authors must register and pay his registration fee during the advance period (before February 15^th) for their paper to be included in the final programme of the Conference.

2. General specifications

The paper must be written in English. All text including tables and graphics must fit into a printing box of 16 cm x 22.5 cm on either A4 or US letter type paper, 2.5 cm left margin and 3.6 cm top margin (right and bottom margins adjusted for A4 or Letter paper), Times New Roman font (also for font used in Excel charts, diagrams or figures). No part of the paper to be reproduced should appear out of the printing box. The final pages of the proceedings will be reproduced at a factor size of 0.8, thus resulting in a final printing area of 12.8 cm x 18.0 cm. The authors should pay attention to the thickness of lines in graphics, which should not be less than 0.15 mm at the final size of the paper, for being visible in the final pdf file, used for printing the proceedings. The paper including figures, tables and references must have a minimum length of 4 pages and must not exceed 15 pages.

3. Title, authors, affiliation

The page one of the paper starts with the title of the paper, the authors, affiliation, the Abstract. The first line of the title is located 2 cm (60 points) from the top of the printing box.

3.1 Title

The title should be written left aligned, in 14 pt, boldface Times (New) Roman, all capital letters. It should be single spaced if the title is more than one line long.

3.2 Author (s)

The author's name should include first name, middle initial and surname. It should be written left aligned, in 12 pt boldface Times (New) Roman, 12 pt below the title.

3.3 Affiliation

Author's affiliation should be written left aligned, in 12 pt Times (New) Roman, 12 pt below the list of authors. A 12 pt space should separate two different affiliations.

3.4 Abstract

Use 12 pt Times (New) Roman for the abstract. The word Abstract must be set in Times (New) Roman 12 boldface, not italicized. The abstract text should be justified and separated 12 pt from the keywords, as shown in the previous page of these instructions. The abstract should neither be too short nor exceed the first page of the paper.

4. Headings

4.1 Main headings

The main headings should be written left aligned, in 12 pt, boldface in capital. There should be a 12 pt space before and 6pt after the main headings.

4.2 Secondary headings

Secondary headings should be written left aligned, 12 pt, boldface Times (New) Roman, with an initial capital for first word only. There should be a 12 pt space before and 0 pt after the secondary headings.

5. Text

The normal text should be written single-spaced, justified, using 12 pt Times (New) Roman in one column. The first line of each paragraph must be indented 0.5 cm. There is not inter-paragraph spacing.

6. Page numbers

In case a CD-Rom of the papers is prepared, a paper will be found by the author's name or using the keywords. Page numbering is unnecessary for this purpose. However in any case, in order to organize the paper and for final control, it is requested to number the pages. Write the page number right aligned at the bottom of each page, with 12 pt Times (New) Roman.
Note: Page numbers are not included in the printing box.

7. Tables

Keep tables simple. Range tables and table headings left. Do not spread tables out across the page. Type the table number and title immediately above the table. All tables should be numbered consecutively and captioned, the caption should be 12 pt Times (New) Roman, upper and lower case letters.

Table 1: Example of construction of a table

C11	C12	C13
C21	C22	C23
C31	C32	C33
C41	C42	C43
C51	C52	C53

A 6pt space should separate the table from the caption, and a 12 pt space should separate the table from the surrounding text.

8. Equations and units

A displayed equation is numbered, using Arabic numbers in parentheses. It should be left aligned, leaving a 6pt space above and below to separate it from the surrounding text. Number each equation between parentheses on the far right margin. Use SI units. Use correct abbreviations for units ("%" and not "percent").

The following example is a single line equation:

Ax = b

(1)

The next example is a multi-line equation:

Ax = b	(2)
Ax = b

9. Figures and photographs

If the author includes a photograph, figure or extract which has been published previously, the author must obtain written approval from the original publisher for it to be reprinted, and provide the corresponding references. All illustrations should be placed in the text near where they are first mentioned. All figures should be numbered consecutively and captioned. The caption title should be written centred, in 12 pt Times (New) Roman, with upper and lower case letters. Thickness of lines in diagrams: A MINIMUM OF 0.2 mm IS IMPERATIVE FOR ANY LINE OR AXIS (lines with lower values will not appear in the printed book).

Figure 1: Page layout

A 6pt space should separate the figure from the caption, and a 12 pt space should separate the upper part of the figure and the bottom of the caption from the surrounding text.

10. Footnotes

Avoid footnotes if possible. If you must sparingly use them, please be sure that they are typed within the margins specified above.
