on Urban Earthquake Engineering. It is our goal to be relatively flexible in format, yet maintain a reasonable degree ofconsistency between papers in the finished product. This document is formatted in the desired manner, and all authors
are expected to use it as a template [see Section 2.1 below].

1. INTRODUCTION
The 10th International Conference on Urban
Earthquake Engineering (10th CUEE) will be held on March
1-2, 2013 at O-okayama Campus, Tokyo Institute ofTechnology. This document describes, and is formatted in,
the required style for all conference papers.
After final review, accepted papers will be included in
the proceedings volume. The printed volume and its CD
version will be made available during the conference. The
electronic copy of the final paper must be uploaded by
December 31, 2012, to the following address:
http://www.cuee.titech.ac.jp/Conference_2013/papers.htm
2. FORMAT REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Word Processing
The author must submit two different types ofelectronic copies: a file created by Word 2000 or later
version, and a PDF file created by ADOBE Acrobat 4.0 orlater version. This document is a Word 2000 template, andthe author may type directly on this file. An author using
other word processors may submit a PDF file only, but thepaper must meet the format requirements in Section 2.2.
2.2 Details of Required Format
Authors must follow the format details given in thissection.
1. Paper Size and Length: 4 to 10 pages (A4 size sheet,
210mm x 297 mm).
2. Margins: 25 mm (1.0 inch) top and bottom, 20 mm (0.8inch) on sides.
3. Default Font Type, Size, and Line Spacing: 10 pt size
Times New Roman with 12 pt line spacing, justified on bothmargins, unless otherwise specified. N.B.: All “blank lines”
are also in this format.
4. Title: Four blank lines from top of the first page, then aline with the paper title in 14 pt size bold, centered, small
caps on subsequent pages. If two lines are needed, use 16
pt line spacing between them.
5. Author’s Name: Two blank lines after the title, then aline 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 andaffiliation per author in 9 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’s e-mailaddress(es) in 9 pt size italics and 12 pt line spacing.
8. Abstract: A 100-200 word abstract in 9 pt size and 12 pt
line spacing, left and right indented 10 mm each.
9. Section Headings: Two blank lines after the previous
section, 10 pt size bold, capital letters.
10. Section Subheadings: One blank line after the previous
subsection, 10 pt size bold.
11. Body text: 10 pt size and 12 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 9 pt size and 12 pt line spacing. Citations in the text ofthe paper should use author last names and the year; forexample, “… 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 theirpapers which may be already copyrighted elsewhere.
