Abstract (Arial, 12pt, bold)

The first paragraph should be started from the end of left without space with Font Times New Roman, 12pt. The abstract used in primary journals is often referred to as informative type (rather than the indicative type) and are designed to condense the article. It should not be viewed as a part of the text and should be completed in itself. It may be better understood as a brief description of all sections of the article. Hence, the abstract should (1) state the principal objectives and scope of the investigation or project, (2) describe the general methodology employed, (3) summarize the results, (4) and state the principal conclusions. Abstracts are often used for information retrieval and therefore have major role in promoting articles. They should be succinctly and clearly written within a maximum of 200 words. As it should stand alone, it must not contain abbreviations and mathematical expressions nor any specialized terms that may not be understandable in itself. References to other literature should be avoided, but if essential, then they should be cited in full and not included in the reference list at the end.

Introduction of 1st level (numbered, Arial, 12pt, bold, after 1 line Space)

The first paragraph should be started from the end of left without space with Font Times New Roman, 12pt. The purposes of this section are: (1) present sufficient background information for the understanding and evaluation of the results of the reported study, as well as their relationship to earlier work in the field; and (2) provide the purpose and validation for the present study. It should not, in general, exceed two typed pages.

The paragraphs after second paragraph should be started with a space of about 5-6 mm at the left edge. Unanimous rules for a good Introduction are: (1) present the problem investigated or project reported, in terms of nature and scope; (2) review of the pertinent literature, but only at the required extent to orient the reader; and (3) state the chosen methods and perhaps the reasons for the choice, but not describing them.

The cited publications in the body text shall be written by giving the author's surname and the year of publication in parentheses as follows; (Maruyama 2003; Ishida and Maekawa 2015; Nakamura et al. 2016). If the author's name of a particular publication appears as a part of sentence, it is given showing the year of the publications in parentheses as "Mihashi et al. (2015) evaluated the similar effects".

Section title of 1st level (numbered, Arial, 12pt, bold, after 1line Space)

The first paragraph should be started from the end of left without space with Font Times New Roman, 12pt. After the second section, the experimental or simulation programs, materials, experimental procedures are described. The purpose of this section is to provide sufficient information on methodology and materials employed, so that competent professionals can reproduce the experiments, numerical simulations or projects reported. For scientific and technical merit, the possibility of reproduction of same or similar results must exist.

Experimental program, materials properties etc. might be shown in table, and some apparatuses or materials might be shown in figures. Tables (Bold) and Figures (Bold) should be placed in the vicinity of the relevant text parts with a few lines space in the manuscript, rather than at the end of the text part. A photo should be numbered as a figure.

Please note that “Figure” is spelled in full spell when it appears in the head of sentences, but that “Fig.” is used at the middle of sentences as follows. Figure 1 shows the reinforcing bar element arrangement, and the red points in Fig. 1 show zero-size link.

Section title of 2nd level (numbered, Arial, 12pt, bold, after 1line Space)

The Methods and Materials section usually has subheadings, which usually depend on the nature of the reported work (e.g. experimental and/or analytical).

Provide the exact technical specifications and quantities of materials, as well as source or method of preparation. Statements and references should be accurate but free of speculative or advertising material. The text should not refer to the names of individuals, organizations, products or services unless it is essential to understanding and in neither complementary nor derogatory.

Normally, the followings are described; (a) the procedures for preparing materials, for setting or operating equipment, and for performing measurements, (b) the detailed description of equipment, specimens and constitutive materials, in terms of dimensions, quantities, sources and conditions, (c) the analytical modelling and assumptions; (d) the aspects of mathematical simulations and analyses; (e) evaluation approaches and criteria. The structure of the headings should be arranged for reader to be able to easily understand.

Section title of 3rd level (numbered, Arial, 12pt, normal, after 1line Space)

Only methods or their variations, which are truly new or have not been accurately presented in the literature, should be described. Others should be only cited with appropriate references.

2.2 Numerical simulation procedure (2nd level heading, numbered, Arial, 12pt, bold, after 1line Space)

In the description of numerical simulation procedures, it is often explained using equations. Each equation must appear in a separate line and be numbered consecutively, whether the number is necessary for cross-reference in the article or not. The number may be useful for reference and discussion of the article. Only the relevant equations should be shown in the body of the text. Equation should be prepared using MS Equation Editor or MathType.

Equation can be described as follows;

(1)

where is response acceleration for ith mode, and qi(t) is coordinate for ith mode.

Results (1st level heading, numbered, Arial, 12pt, bold, after 1line Space)

The Results and Discussion may eventually be separated into two independent sections when the article presents a large volume of raw data in text, tabular or graphical form. Though in this case further care is required to avoid redundancies in the sections. The results section would present the factual data to substantiate the discussion and conclusions in subsequent sections.

Results are presented in figures and tables and some results not requiring documentation are given solely in the text. Do not repeat tabular and graphical data in text and if you adopt separate sections, leave the discussion for the subsequent section.

Discussion (1st level heading, numbered, Arial, 12pt, bold, after 1line Space)

The discussion should be concise and focused on the interpretation of the results rather than a repetition of the Results section. In the Discussion section, (1) Derive principles, relationships and generalizations based on the presented results, (2) point out exceptions, lack of correlations and any unsettled points and provide known or hypothetical reasons for them, (3) demonstrate how your results and interpretations agree or contrast with the previous work, (4) provide the evidence for each conclusion, and (5) discuss the potential applications of your work.

Conclusions

In the Conclusion section, the significance of the results and/or project in the article shall be summarized as the conclusions based on evidences provided. Indicate the potential applicability of proposed methods, with assessments if possible. In research related articles, authors may recommend further directions of the research, as suggested by the results presented in the article.
