# 1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Authors of extended abstracts for the workshop should prepare them
according to the instructions set below. A black and white printer will
be used to print these abstracts for the Workshop. The abstracts will
also be posted on the internet at a later date; therefore color may be
used in the abstracts, bearing in mind that the colors will not appear
in the hardcopy version distributed at the Workshop. The abstracts
should be 2-4 pages and are due **March 19, 2004**. Please send the
abstracts electronically to Louise Criscenti at Sandia National
Laboratories as Word documents at <ljcrisc@sandia.gov>[.]{.underline}

It would be greatly appreciated if power point presentations are sent as
e:mail attachments to Louise Criscenti by **April 12, 2004** so that
they can be loaded onto the facility laptops prior to the conference.
Alternatively, power point presentations may be brought to the meeting
on a CD-ROM or USB-drive. The conference facility IBM-compatible laptops
will be used for all power point presentations.

## 1.1 Type Area

The text should fit exactly into the type area of 6.25\" × 8.5\". Top
and bottom margins 0.75\", inside margin 0.75\", outside margin 1.50\".

1.2 *Typefont, typesize and spacing*

Use Times New Roman 12 point size and 13 point line spacing
(Standard;text tag). Use roman type except for the headings (Heading
tags), parameters in mathematics (not for log, sin, cos, ln, max., d (in
d*x*), etc), Latin names of species and genera in botany and zoology and
the titles of journals and books which should all be in italics. Never
use bold, except to denote vectors in mathematics. Never underline any
text. Use the small font (10 points on 11 points) for tables (Table
tags), figure captions (Figure caption tag) and the references
(Reference text tag). Use two spaces between sentences.

# 2 Getting started

## 2.1 Preparing the new file with template

Copy the template file RTWorkshop.dot (for Letter size paper) to the
template directory. This directory can be found by selecting the Tools
menu, Options and then by tabbing the File Locations. When the Word
program has been started, open the File menu and choose New. Now select
the template RTWorkshop.dot (see above). Start by renaming the document
by clicking Save As in the menu Files. Now you can type your paper, or
copy the old version of your paper onto this new formatted file.

## 2.2 Title, author and affiliation

Type the title of the paper in lower case (no caps except for proper
names). Provide each author's affiliation, city and state. Provide the
first author's contact information: an e:mail address or telephone
number.

## 2.3 First line of text or heading

If your text starts with a heading, place the cursor on the I of
INTRODUCTION and type the correct text for the heading. Now delete the
word INTRODUCTION and start with the text after a return. This text
should have the tag First paragraph.

If your text starts without a heading you should place the cursor on the
I of INTRODUCTION, change the tag to First paragraph and type your text
after deleting the word INTRODUCTION.

# 3 Layout of text

## 3.1 Text and indenting

All text should be typed in Times New Roman, 12 pt on 13 pt line spacing
except for the paper title (18 pt on 20 pt), author(s) (14 pt on 16 pt),
and the small text in tables, captions and references (10 pt on 11 pt).
All line spacing is exact. Never add any space between lines or
paragraphs.

First lines of paragraphs are indented 0.2\" except for paragraphs after
a heading or a blank line (First paragraph tag).

## 3.2 Headings

Type primary headings in capital letters roman (Heading 1 tag) and
secondary and tertiary headings in lower case italics (Headings 2 and 3
tags). Headings are set flush against the left margin. The tag will give
two blank lines (26 pt) above and one (13 pt) beneath the primary
headings, 1½ blank lines (20 pt) above and a ½ blank line (6 pt) beneath
the secondary headings and one blank line (13 pt) above the tertiary
headings. Headings are not indented and neither are the first lines of
text following the heading indented. If a primary heading is directly
followed by a secondary heading, only a ½ blank line should be set
between the two headings. In the Word programme this has to be done
manually as follows: Place the cursor on the primary heading, select
Paragraph in the Format menu, and change the setting for spacing after,
from 13 pt to 0 pt. In the same way the setting in the secondary heading
for spacing before should be changed from 20 pt to 7 pt.

## 3.3 Listing and numbering

When listing facts use either the style tag List signs or the style tag
List numbers.

## 3.4 Equations

Use the equation editor of the selected word processing program.
Equations are not indented (Formula tag). Number equations consecutively
and place the number with the tab key at the end of the line, between
parentheses. Refer to equations by these numbers. See for example
Equation 1 below:

From the above we note that sin θ = (*x* + *y*)*z* or:

$K_{t} = \left( 1 - \frac{R^{2}t}{c_{a} + \nu\text{tan}d} \right)^{4}k_{1}$
(1)

where *c~a~* = interface adhesion; δ = friction angle at interface; and
*k*~1~ = shear stiffness number.

For simple equations in the text always use superscript and subscript
(select Font in the Format menu). Do not use the equation editor between
text on the same line.

## 3.5 Tables

Locate tables close to the first reference to them in the text and
number them consecutively. Indicate units in the line immediately below
the heading. Explanations should be given at the foot of the table, not
within the table itself. Use only horizontal rules: One above and one
below the column headings and one at the foot of the table (Table rule
tag: Use the Shift-minus key to actually type the rule exactly where you
want it). For simple tables use the tab key and not the table option.
Type all text in tables in small type: 10 on 11 points (Table text tag).
Align all headings to the left of their column and start these headings
with an initial capital. Type the caption above the table to the same
width as the table (Table caption tag).

## 3.6 Figure captions

Always use the Figure caption style tag (10 points size on 11 points
line space). Place the caption underneath the figure. Type as follows:
'Figure 1. Caption.' Leave about two lines of space between the figure
caption and the text of the paper.

## 3.7 References

In the text, place the authors' last names (without initials) and the
date of publication in parentheses. At the end of the paper, list all
references in alphabetical order underneath the heading REFERENCES
(Reference heading tag). The references should be typed in small text
(10 pt on 11 pt) and second and further lines should be indented 0.2\"
(Reference text tag). If several works by the same author are cited,
entries should be chronological:

Larch, A.A. 1996a. Development \...

Larch, A.A. 1996b. Facilities \...

Larch, A.A. 1997. Computer \...

Larch, A.A. & Jensen, M.C. 1996. Effects of \...

Larch, A.A. & Smith, B.P. 1993. Alpine \...

### 3.7.1 Typography for references 

Last name, First name or Initials (ed.) year. *Book title*. City:
Publisher.

Last name, First name or Initials year. Title of article. *Title of
Journal* (series number if necessary) volume number (issue number if
necessary): page numbers.

### 3.7.2 Examples

Grove, A.T. 1980. Geomorphic evolution of the Sahara and the Nile. In
M.A.J. Williams & H. Faure (eds), *The Sahara and the Nile*: 21-35.
Rotterdam: Balkema.

Jappelli, R. & Marconi, N. 1997. Recommendations and prejudices in the
realm of foundation engineering in Italy: A historical review. In Carlo
Viggiani (ed.), *Geotechnical engineering for the preservation of
monuments and historical sites*; *Proc. intern. symp., Napoli, 3-4
October 1996*. Rotterdam: Balkema.

Johnson, H.L. 1965. Artistic development in autistic children. *Child
Development* 65(1): 13-16.

Polhill, R.M. 1982. *Crotalaria in Africa and Madagascar*. Rotterdam:
Balkema.

## 3.8 Notes

These should be avoided. Insert the information in the text. In tables
the following reference marks should be used: \*, \*\*, etc. and the
actual footnotes set directly underneath the table.

## 3.9 Conclusions

Conclusions should state concisely the most important propositions of
the abstract as well as the author's views of the practical implications
of the results.

# 4 Photographs and figures

Number figures consecutively in the order in which reference is made to
them in the text, making no distinction between diagrams and
photographs.

Paste copies of the same size onto the typescript where you want them to
appear in the text. Do not place them sideways on a page; however if
this cannot be avoided, no other text (except the figure caption) should
appear on that page. Figures, etc. should not be centered, but placed
against the left margin. Leave about two lines of space between the
actual text and figure (including caption). Never place any text next to
a figure. Leave this space blank. The most convenient place for placing
figures is at the top or bottom of the page. Avoid placing text between
figures. Lines should preferably be 0.1\" thick. Keep figures as simple
as possible. Avoid excessive notes and designations.

# 5 PREFERENCES, SYMBOLS AND UNITS

Consistency of style is important. Note the spacing, punctuation and
caps in all the examples below.

-   *References in the text:* Figure 1, Figures 2-4, 6, 8a, b (not
    abbreviated)

-   *References between parentheses:* (Fig. 1), (Figs 2-4, 6, 8a, b)
    (abbreviated)

-   USA / UK / Netherlands / the Netherlands *instead of* U.S.A. / U.K.
    / The Netherlands

Always use the official SI notations.
