Abstract: This document is a template which gives you guidelines to prepare papers for the 13 th ASEC 2015. Please
note that use of the 13th ASEC 2015 template is meant to assist authors in correctly preparing manuscripts for
submission. This template must be used for both initial and final submissions. An abstract should be 100 to 300 words,
and should clearly state the nature and significance of the paper. Abstracts must not include mathematical expressions or
bibliographic references.
Key words: Keywords should closely reflect the topic and should optimally characterize the paper. Use about six key
words or phrases, separated by commas.
1. INTRODUCTION
An easy way to comply with the paper formatting requirements is to use this document as a template and simply
type your text into it. This document should be used as a model, particularly for the first page, the headers, sub-titles,
headings, etc. Papers should be no longer than 06-08 pages.
2. PAGE LAYOUT
An easy way to comply with the paper formatting requirements is to use this document as a template and simply
type your text into it.
2.1 Page Layout
Your manuscript must use a page size corresponding to A4 which is 210mm (8.27") wide and 297mm (11.69") long.
The margins must be set as follows:
Top = Bottom =25mm
Left = 25mm
Right=20mm
Do not use two-column format.
3. PAGE STYLE
All paragraphs must be indented. All paragraphs must be justified, i.e. both left-justified and right-justified.
3.1 Text Font of Entire Document
The entire document should be in Times New Roman or Times font. Type 3 fonts must not be used. Other font types
may be used if needed for special purposes.

3.2 Title and Author Details
All title and author details must be in single-column format and must be centred.
Every word in a title must be capitalized except for short minor words such as “a”, “an”, “and”, “as”, “at”, “by”,
“for”, “from”, “if”, “in”, “into”, “on”, “or”, “of”, “the”, “to”, “with”.
To avoid confusion, the family name must be written as the last part of each author name.
Each affiliation must include, at the very least, the name of the company and the name of the country where the
author is based.
Email address is compulsory for the corresponding author.
4. FIGURES AND TABLES
Figures and illustrations should be incorporated into the text. Figures and illustrations are numbered 1 to n in the
papers, as shown in Figure 1. The legends are in Times New Roman 10pt, justified, with no indent.

Tables must be numbered using uppercase Arabic numerals. Table captions must be centred and in 10 pt.

5. EQUATIONS
Formulae referred to in the text are numbered from (1) to (n) in brackets. The number is put on the last line of the
formula, flush right. The formula is separated from the text by one blank line above and below. If the formula runs over
one line, half a blank line should be left between each line.
𝑢(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) = 𝑢0 (𝑥, 𝑦) + 𝑧𝜑𝑥 (𝑥, 𝑦)

6. CONCLUSION
This document gives the instructions to respect in order to ensure the uniform appearance of articles published in the
proceedings of the 13th Arab Structural Engineering Conference, which will be held from 13 to 15 December 2015 in
Algeria.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The heading of the Acknowledgment section and the References section must not be numbered.
The template will number citations consecutively within brackets [1]. The sentence punctuation follows the bracket
[2]. Refer simply to the reference number, as in [3]—do not use “Ref. [3]” or “reference [3]” except at the beginning of
a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first . . .”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was
cited. Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes.
Unless there are six authors or more give all authors' names; do not use “et al.” Papers that have not been published,
even if they have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted
for publication should be cited as “in press” [5]. Capitalize only the first word in a paper title, except for proper nouns
and element symbols.
For papers published in translation journals, please give the English citation first, followed by the original foreignlanguage citation [6].
