Proceedings, containing final papers presented during the Congress, will be produced from the manuscripts received from authors. Please read through all the information provided here. Issues raised in one section may be discussed more fully in a later section.
Thank you for your participation in the 33rd IAHR Congress. There are a few items that we would like you to take notice of in the preparation of your final paper submission:
Thank You,

Technical Program Chair Technical Chair, CSCE
Please read the complete list of Manuscript Preparation for Conference Proceedings On Line Instructions located on the following web page BEFORE submitting your final paper:
http://pubs.asce.org/authors/book/proceedingssub/ConfProcOnlineinstructions.html
Some of the formatting requirements are listed below:
Length. Length is restricted to a minimum of 6 pages and a maximum of 8 pages. The total final paper length includes all text, graphics, and appendices. Please note the proceedings will not contain PowerPoint Presentations.
Point size and font. Use 12 point type for text, captions, and author contact information. For type within figures or tables, the 12 point size is preferred. We recommend selecting a serif text font such as Times Roman. Italics, bold, and bold italics may be used; we recommend sticking to one “family” of typefaces.
Headers and footers. Do not put any information in the header. The only acceptable content in the footer is a single page number.
Layout. All text must be single-spaced. Page design should be consistent throughout the extended abstract. Margin settings (see below) must contain all elements of the paper that will be reproduced (text, figures, tables, captions). Imagine a “box” whose width does not exceed 5.75" (14.5 cm) and depth does not exceed 9" (22.5 cm). Short pages are unsightly and waste space; try to “fill” the imaginary box on each page. Leave at least 1" (3 cm) top and bottom margins. The title of your paper should fall approximately 1.5 (3.8 cm) below the standard margin.
The length of time alotted for oral presentations is typically 15 minutes, with the opportunity for five minutes of questions, should that be required. Powerpoint Presentations are a welcome visual aid for these presentations, and it is recommended that files for the slideshow is brought to the Congress on a thumbdrive, compact disc (CD), or a combination of both (for back-up purposes). Any handouts or papers should be printed beforehand by the presenter, as Congress staff will unable to print any supplementary material on-site at the conference.
Poster Materials
Plan to mount your materials at least 15 minutes prior to the opening of the session. All illustrations, charts, etc., to be posted should be prepared in advance as materials for these purposes will not be available at the conference facilities. You will need to bring your own supply of push pins. It is also recommended that you bring extra copies of your illustrations or a signup sheet for people to request copies of your information. However, no duplication facilities will be available at the conference.
Layout
A poster board will be assigned to two poster presenters, with dimensions 1.22 m tall by 2.44 m wide (4' x 8'). There will be two presenters on each side of the board, so please be prepared to keep your posters at a size smaller than, or equal to 1.22 m x 1.22 m (4' x 4').
Each poster must have a heading in very large type, 84 pt or greater. Your name and affiliation should also be noted in large type, around 72 pt. Subheadings should be at least 36 pt. You need not use all capitals for titles and headings, for this can sometimes make them difficult to read. Other lettering, including text and lettering on illustrations or charts, should be between 18 and 24 pt, and should have double or 1.5 spacing between lines. Use a simple font such as Times, Arial or Helvetica throughout your presentation. To make something stand out, use a larger font size, bold or underline. You can also frame a section of text by putting a box around it. All material should be readable from a distance of three feet or more.
Any format that fits in the available space is acceptable. Some posters are prepared as one, large sheet and usually brought to the conference rolled up in a tube. You may need to locate a largeformat printer for this purpose, e.g., at a copy store. Other posters are prepared as a group of smaller sheets, which may be easier to prepare and transport. The format is up to you.
Remember that you can refer to your proceedings paper for additional details. Do not simplybring a normal sized copy of your proceedings paper!

Questions or Problems:
IMPORTANT: Email submissions WILL NOT be accepted as only authors are authorized to submit papers on their own behalf. DO NOT email papers to the committee or staff.
Proposing authors must recognize that submission of an abstract indicates commitments to complete the paper, attend the conference, and present the paper, and asserts that permission to present the paper has been obtained from the responsible owning authority of the featured project. The conference proceedings will not be an ASCE publication.
The Committee will accept or reject proposed papers based on information provided online in the abstracts. To the extent possible and appropriate, papers will be assigned to conference technical sessions based on the Topic and Track identified by the author and co-authors, as best suited for their subject material.
Please note that oral and poster presentation modes for papers will be of equal prestige during the Congress. The period allotted for oral presentation is quite brief (within 15 minutes), whereas a period of several hours will be allotted for poster presentations. Also, posters will be displayed in central locations. The Chairs of Tracks will arrange the sequences of papers for oral or poster presentation.
All expenses associated with the preparation, submission, and presentation of abstracts and papers are the responsibility of the authors and co-authors. This includes camera-ready manuscripts and illustrations. Scholarship and/or travel funds are not available for conference attendees. All attendees are required to pay conference registration fees.
