Abstract: This document describes format instructions for the papers to be presented at Third
International Conference on Urban Earthquake Engineering. It is our goal to be relatively flexible in the
format, yet maintaining a reasonable degree of consistency between papers in the finished product.
This document is formatted in a desired manner, and the authors are expected to use it as a template.

1. INTRODUCTION

　Second International Conference on Urban Earthquake Engineering will be held on March 6-7,
2006 at Suzukakedai Campus, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Yokohama, Japan. This document
describes, and is formatted in, a required style of the conference paper.
　After final review, accepted papers will be included in the proceeding volume. Printed volume and
its CD version will be made available during the conference. The electronic copy of the final paper
must be sent to the conference office (address: conf@cuee.titech.ac.jp) by February 13, 2006.

2. FORMAT REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Word Processing
　The author must submit two different types of electronic copies: a file created by Word 2000 or
later version, and a PDF file created by ADOBE Acrobat 4.0 or later version. This document is a Word
2000 template, and the author may type directly on this file. The author using other word processors
may submit a PDF file only, but the paper must meet the format requirements in Section 2.2.

2.2 Details of Required Format
　Authors must follow the format details given in this section.
1. Paper Size and Length: 6 to 8 pages (A4 size sheet, 210mm x 297 mm).
2. Margins: 25 mm (1.0 inch) top and bottom, 20 mm (0.8 inch) on sides.
3. Default Font Type, Size, and Line Spacing: 12 pt size Times New Roman with 14 pt line spacing,
　justified on both margins, unless otherwise specified. All "blank lines" are also in this format.
4. Title: Four blank lines from top of the first page, then a line with the paper title in 14 pt size bold,
　centered, small caps. If two lines are needed, use 18 pt line spacing between them.
5. Author's Name: Two blank lines after the title, then a line with the author name(s) in bold.
6. Author's Position and Affiliation: Two blank lines after the author's name, then a line with the
　position and affiliation per author in 10 pt size italics and 12 pt line spacing. This should be
　repeated for multiple authors.
7. E-mail address(es): A line with the author e-mail address(es) in 10 pt size italics and 12 pt line spacing.
8. Abstract: A 100-200 word abstract in 10 pt size and 12 pt line spacing, left and right indented 10 mm
　each.
9. Section Headings: Two blank lines after the previous section, 12 pt size bold, capital letters.
10. Section Subheadings: One blank line after the previous subsection, 12 pt size bold.
11. Body text: 12 pt size and 14 pt line spacing, justified on both margins. First line of each
　　paragraph is indented by 4 blank characters.
12. Figures: Insert in text where appropriate, with a caption centered below the figure, as shown on next
　　page. Use 10 pt size and 12 pt line spacing for the caption.
13. Tables: As with Figures, but with caption centered above the table.
14. Equations: Centered, with equation number set flush at the right margin, one blank line above and
　　below.
15. Units: SI units are required.
16. References: References such as journal papers, conference papers, and books should appear as shown
　　below. Use 10 pt size and 12 pt line spacing. Citations in the text of the paper should use author last
　　names and the year; for example, "… in previous work by the authors (Kasai et al. 1998, MacRae and
　　Kawashima 2001)" or "… as shown in the work by Kasai et al. (1998) and MacRae and Kawashima
　　 (2001)." Additionally, authors are responsible for obtaining permission for reprinting any material
　　included in their papers that is already copyrighted elsewhere.

3. CONCLUSIONS

　If you have any questions concerning these format instructions, please contact the conference
office (address: conf@cuee.titech.ac.jp).
