John Doe, born 1960, received his civil engineering degree from the University of Zurich, Switzerland. He worked for Consultants Company SA, Geneva, Switzerland before becoming Professor at the University of Paris, France. His main area of research is related to risk assessment.
SummaryThese guidelines have been prepared in the format that should be used for your paper. This file can be used as a template for the two-page short version and for the full version of your paper. The two-page short version will be printed in the Report book. The full version will be distributed on CD.Keywords: Include a list of not more than five keywords, for example: Post-tensioning; anchors; slabs; walls; high-rise buildings.
1. IntroductionAuthors are required to submit a two-page short version of their paper and the full version. The printed proceedings will contain the two-page short version. The CD will contain the full version. The page limit for the full version is eight pages maximum. The two-page short version will be printed in black and white, with page-size reduced to about 80% of this template.

A heading that would otherwise be stranded at the bottom of a page should be moved to the top of the following page by adding a blank line before it.
2.2.3 Captions and lettering in figures and tablesThe captions of figures and tables should be written in Times New Roman italic 12 pt, line spacing 12 pt. For the two-page short version, lettering used in figures and tables should be large enough to be readable at reduced size (80%): Characters should not be smaller than Times New Roman 10 pt.
2.3 Graphics (drawings and photographs) and tablesCreate graphs and line drawings electronically, and insert them electronically into the finished document. Photographs should also be inserted electronically into the document.
All figures and tables must be inserted near the location where they are first described. Provide a figure number and caption below each figure or photograph and a table number and caption above each table. The resolution should be 150x150 dpi (dots per inch) for photographs and 300x300 dpi for drawings. Graphics and tables around which the text is wrapped should be aligned with the left margin and should not exceed 100 mm in width. Tables should have borders for top and bottom and under headings.
