Abstract The abstract (up to 200 words) summarizes the content of the paper and must be composed by a single paragraph. The font is Times size 10. The para-graph has 12pt minimum line space with 24pt blank space above. The author must use the default “9EWICS-Abstract text” style. Please submit the final paper via the workshop website https://9ewics.org/ .

1 Introduction

The paper must be written in English, using SI units, and it cannot exceed 10 pages in length.

The corresponding author must upload the paper before February 29th, 2020, via the online easy chair submission system. Authors must submit the MS-Word file. The correct reception of the full paper will be confirmed by e-mail.

Papers will be peer-reviewed and will be only published if at least one of the authors participates in the conference. Following the workshop, the highest quality papers will be invited to submit an improved version, which will be publish in a SPRINGER book series on "Geotechnical, Geological and Earthquake Engineer-ing", after a detailed review process.

2 Page Size, Margins and Font

The size of the page is standard, i.e. A4, with the margins presented in Table 1. The font for paper is Times, with the size 10pt (The author must use the default “9EWICS – Body text” style.). The paper title is 16pt bold faced. Section titles are 12pt bold faced. Subsection titles are 10pt bold and italics. Figure and table cap-tions are 8.5pt.

3 Titles, Authors and Affiliations

The title of the paper should be aligned on the left with 16pt (bold). The para-graph has the 18pt minimum line space with no blank space above and below.

The authors’ names should be aligned on the left with 10pt (bold). The para-graph has the 12pt minimum line space with 24pt blank space above and 11pt blank space below.

The authors’ affiliations should be aligned on the left with 8.5pt. The paragraph has the 10pt minimum line space with 6pt blank space above and no blank space below.

4 Sections and Subsections

Sections must always keep to the hierarchical sequence. The section title is bold faced 12pt without punctuation or period after the title number. The para-graph has 12pt minimum line space with 30pt blank space above and 16pt blank space below. All major words in section are capitalized. The author must use the default “9EWICS – Head section” style.

The subsection title is in bold and italics 10pt. The paragraph has 12pt mini-mum line space with 6pt blank space above and no blank space below. In the sub-section only the first letter is capitalized. The author must use the default “9EWICS – Head subsection” style.

Section numbers (not page numbers) are used for cross-references.

5 Figures and Tables

5.1 Figures

Figures should be centered within the page width and numbered sequentially. Figures should be separated from the text above by a 12pt blank space. The sym-bols used in the figure axis labels should be properly defined in the text.

Figure captions begin with the term Fig. in bold type, followed by the figure number, also in bold type (e.g. Fig. 1). Figure parts are identified by lowercase let-ters in bold. Letters or words identifying specific positions or items in a figure are italicized. Previously published material is identified by a reference to the original source at the end of the caption. Figure captions have no end punctuation and no period after the figure number. Figure captions are aligned on the left with 8.5pt font. The paragraph has 10pt minimum line space with 6pt blank space above and 12pt blank space below.

5.2 Tables

Tables must be formatted as shown in Table 1. Table captions begin with the term Table in bold type, followed by the number, also in bold type (e.g. Table 1). Previously published material is identified by a reference to the original source at

the end of the caption. Table captions have no end punctuation and no period after the table number. Table footnotes appear in the following sequence: (i) comments of a general nature; (ii) explanations of abbreviations in a run-in list.

Table captions are located above the tables, aligned to the left with 8.5pt font. The paragraph has 10pt minimum line space with 12pt blank space above and 6pt below.

6 Abbreviations and Equations

Abbreviations are spelled out the first time used with the abbreviation in paren-theses.

Equations must be centered, numbered sequentially and with 6pt blank space above and below the text. The equations should be numbered with the equation number to the right of the equation. Extra space should not be included between equations. Please, write the equations using: (i) letters/symbols in italic with font size 10pt; (ii) number in normal style also with font size 10pt and (iii) matrices and vectors in bold-faces with font size 10pt. If the equation is part of a sentence, punctuation follows normal language rules. Text references to equations take the forms: “Eq. 1” or “Eqs. 1-3”. The following is an example of two equations writ-ten according to the specifications:
