Abstract: Malaysian Journal of Civil Engineering published twice a year by Faculty of Civil
Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia is concerned with knowledge development in
various aspects of design, construction and research in Civil Engineering. The Journal was
initiated in 1989 making MJCE the longest running journal of civil engineering in Malaysia. The
aim of the journal is to provide alternative venue for promoting and disseminating new
knowledge and research findings of high scientific standard among engineers, academicians,
researchers, policy makers and other relevant professionals. The journal covers all aspect of civil
engineering field which include structures, materials, construction management and IT, water
supply and resources, hydraulics and hydrology, transportation and highways, geotechnique and
soil mechanics, and environmental engineering.

Introduction
Articles submitted will be reviewed and accepted on the understanding that they have
not been published elsewhere. The length of articles should be between 3,000 and 6,000
words or approximately 7-15 printed pages (final version). The manuscripts should be
written in English or Bahasa Melayu. The original manuscript should be typed one sided
and double-spaced (12 to 20 pages), using font 12 and with 40 mm margins all round.
Authors must submit the soft-copy of the manuscipt in Microsoft-Word format.
Submission of review paper is only by invitation. Please refer to notes for guides on how
to prepare a manuscript for MJCE.
