About the journal
Published since 1973, this bimonthly journal is the official publication of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering. It has attracted an international subscribership from over 48 countries because it publishes articles in the engineering fields of structure, construction, mechanics, materials, transportation, computer applications, hydrotechnical and environmental engineering.
Instructions to Authors
Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering
Types of papers ?The Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering (Can. J. Civ. Eng.) publishes articles, technical notes, discussions, and book reviews in English or French, as outlined in the Editorial Policy (in the first issue of each volume).
Language ?Papers must be clearly and concisely written in good English or French. Authors whose native language is not English or French should consult someone fluent in English or French prior to submission of the manuscript. Good writing improves the speed and effectiveness of review and publication.
Purpose of these instructions ?To facilitate publication, authors must check symbols, abbreviations, and technical terms for accuracy, consistency, and readability. NRC Research Press maintains the right to preserve the technical quality of the Journal. Authors are requested to refer to a recent issue of the Journal for details of layout, especially for figures, tables, and reference lists. Manuscripts and illustrations must meet the requirements outlined below; otherwise, publication may be delayed.
Page charges ?There are no page charges for publication in the Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering.
Manuscript submission
Submission via the Web
Authors must submit all manuscripts via OSPREY Online Submission and Peer Review system (http://pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/cjce/osprey). OSPREY is best viewed in Netscape 7.0 or higher or Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher. Authors may register at any time on the site, but should register only once. During registration, authors choose a username/password. The security of manuscripts is protected by the username/password system.
For technical support at any point during submission, contact Louis Lafleur (613-998-9432; OspreySupport.CISTI@ nrc-cnrc.gc.ca) from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm EST.
A user manual with full instructions is available on the Web site.
Authors must submit at least a cover letter, manuscript, and all copyright license forms; tables and figures may be included in the manuscript file, or may be uploaded separately. OSPREY accepts files in most common text and graphics formats (see the List of Accepted Graphic Files at pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/journals/graphics.html).
Text (including tables) should be provided in a word-processing format (any form of WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, or TeX is preferable, Windows compatible or Macintosh). TeX macros for preparing papers for submissions are available at ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/nrc/, ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/nrc/, and ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/nrc/. The CJCE style file for LaTeX is called nrc2.cls. For figures, see the section ?A href="http://pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/journals/instructions/cjce.html#intt11">Preparation of Electronic Illustration Files?
Research Press is not currently accepting MS Word 12 documents (.docx extension). Please note that saving .docx documents to other formats (i.e., .doc, .rtf, or .txt) will likely lead to changes to or losses in formatting or other data. Authors saving .docx manuscipts to other formats are requested to check their manuscripts carefully before submission for any losses or other errors.
When first submitting a manuscript for peer review, low-resolution versions of figures should be uploaded to limit file size. When submitting, authors should be working at a computer where all of the relevant files for their paper are available. Submission of a typical manuscript requires about 10 minutes, but upload time depends on the speed of the Internet connection.
All correspondence about manuscripts submitted through OSPREY will be sent to the person listed as the corresponding author during submission. Correspondence is by e-mail. However, the full name and complete contact information (including e-mail address) for each co-author must be entered in OSPREY.
For revisions, the corresponding author will be contacted by e-mail and asked to submit a revision; the process is very similar to initial submission. For accepted manuscripts, the author will be contacted to advise him or her of acceptance, and to ask him or her to upload via OSPREY the final accepted manuscript and all associated files, including tables, figures, and supplementary data.
Once the manuscript is accepted, to ensure the highest possible quality reproduction and printing of figures, authors should (i ) upload figure files separately from the manuscript; (ii ) ensure that figure files are high resolution; (iii ) ensure that figures are in their original file format (i.e., PhotoShop, Adobe Illustrator, Excel, CorelDraw, SigmaPlot, etc.) rather than embedded in a Word document or converted to a derived format. However, if figures are in a format that NRC Research Press does not accept, high-quality high-resolution PostScript or PDF files are acceptable. Sending files in more than one format is fine; the publisher will use the format that will reproduce the best, and (iv ) ensure that they are uploading the most recent, correct versions of the files.
Submission requirements
With each new submission, the corresponding author must include a cover letter and copyright license forms signed by all authors.
The cover letter must (i ) state the type of paper being submitted (e.g., article, note, review, etc.) and the preferred subject category for listing the paper in the Table of Contents; (ii ) include the full name and complete contact information (including e-mail address) for each co-author; (iii ) warrant that the manuscript represents original work that is not being considered for publication, in whole or in part, in another journal, book, conference proceedings, or government publication with a substantial circulation (see Ethics section, Duplicate and prior publication); (iv ) warrant that all previously published work cited in the manuscript has been fully acknowledged (see Publication process section, Permission to reproduce copyright material); (v ) warrant that the manuscript is one of a kind, or part of a study or thesis from which other manuscripts may be generated; (vi ) warrant that all of the authors have contributed substantially to the manuscript and approved the final submission; (vii ) explain any real or perceived conflicts of interest (see Ethics section, Conflict of interest and disclosure); (viii ) provide the names of colleagues who have reviewed the manuscript in the final stages; and (ix ) list the names and current contact information (telephone / fax / email / mailing address) of four to six individuals (at an arm抯 length of the authors), who we may consider using as reviewers.
Copyright license forms ?All authors are required to complete a copyright license form licensing rights to National Research Council Canada. Most authors will sign the License to Publish form, which grants certain rights to NRC. Employees of the government in Commonwealth countries (covered by Crown copyright) will sign a publishing agreement, and employees of the US government will sign a form licensing rights to the NRC. Copyright license forms are available from the Editor, on the Web site of the journal (http://pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/forms/index.html), as well as through the online submission and peer review (OSPREY) system.
Permission to reproduce copyright material ?Whenever a manuscript contains material (tables, figures, charts, etc.) that has been previously published and, hence, is protected by copyright, it is the obligation of the author to secure written permission from the holder of the copyright to reproduce the material for both the print and electronic formats. These letters must accompany the submitted manuscript. All material designated as 搕aken from厰 must be accompanied by a letter of permission. If the material is not to be reproduced exactly as in the original, it should be designated as 搈odified from厰. In either case the source of the material must be included in the reference list.
Editorial process
Receipt of manuscripts ?Receipt of each manuscript is acknowledged by e-mail to the corresponding author within three working days. The manuscript is read and examined for conformity to these Instructions to Authors by the Editor. Failure to meet the criteria outlined may result in return of the manuscript for correction before evaluation.
Correspondence ?Authors should note that it is the strict policy of the Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering to correspond only with the authors through the designated corresponding author of a paper. The Editor regards a submitted manuscript as a confidential document and seeks to ensure that the authors retain control of the reports obtained during the evaluation process.
Peer review ?The Editor assigns management of the peer review process to an Associate Editor responsible for the subject area of the paper. However, the Editor will return unreviewed those manuscripts that do not fall within the Journal抯 scope or character and those that exceed the Journal抯 guidelines for prior publication. Papers submitted for inclusion in Journal supplements and special issues are treated with the same rigor of review as articles in regular issues.
The Associate Editor selects a minimum of two reviewers selected for their knowledge of, and their experience in, the subject treated in the manuscript. Reviewers are invited, in confidence, to recommend on the suitability of the submission and provide comments for the authors and the Associate Editor. The Associate Editor retains full responsibility, however, for all decisions regarding the manuscript. Authors are invited to suggest reviewers who are competent to examine their manuscript, but the Associate Editor is not limited to such suggestions. Reviewers are informed that they have received privileged documents for assessment of scientific merit and are expected to provide reasonable arguments to support their evaluations. Identities of reviewers will not be disclosed to authors without the written consent of the reviewer. The review process is expected to be complete within eight to twelve weeks, but conflicting recommendations and other unpredictable events may cause some delay. The final decision on acceptance or rejection is made by the Editor.
Publication process
General ?The Editorial Office checks all accepted manuscripts for conformation to the Instructions to Authors and to ensure that all necessary documents are present. Any areas that are identified as problematic will be addressed by the Editorial Office in consultation with the corresponding author. Final acceptance of the paper will not be issued until original signed copyright license forms from all authors and copyright permission forms for all copyrighted material within the paper have been received by the Editorial Office. Once the Editorial Office has resolved any problems with the manuscript and has received all necessary documentation, the manuscript is forwarded to NRC Research Press in Ottawa for publication. The papers are prepared for publication by a professional copy editor responsible for ensuring that the final printed work is consistent in form and style. Note that during the copy-editing process, it may be determined that additional copyright license forms are required and the corresponding author will be notified of this accordingly.
Correspondence with NRC Research Press ?Once the paper has received final acceptance, all correspondence should be with NRC Research Press, National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, ON KlA 0R6, Canada (fax: 613-952-7656; e-mail: pubs@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca; URL: http://pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca). NRC Research Press may make editorial changes as required, but will not make substantive changes in the content of a paper without consultation with the author and the Editors.
Galley proofs ?A galley proof, illustration proofs, and the copy-edited manuscript are sent to the corresponding author. Galley proofs must be checked very carefully, as they will not be proofread by NRC Research Press, and must be returned within 48 hours of receipt. The proof stage is not the time to make extensive corrections, additions, or deletions, and the cost of changes introduced at the proof stage and deemed to be excessive will be charged to the author. Questions concerning galley proofs should be addressed to William Knight (613-998-1471; fax: 613-952-7656; e-mail: william.knight@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca).
Offprints, reprints, e-prints ?If offprints, reprints or e-prints (electronic reprints in PDF format) are desired, the author must follow instructions for ordering from Rightslink forwarded with the galley proofs. Other customers can order reprints directly from the 揜eprints and permissions?link for the published article on the Web site. The Journal does not provide free offprints or reprints, and these are not mailed until an order is placed through Rightslink. Authors can request a free e-print of their final published article six months after electronic publication.
Permission to reproduce or republish the paper, in whole or in part, should be requested via Rightslink, by using the 揜eprints and permissions?link for the published article on the Web site.
Ethics
The ethical standards expected of authors, referees, and editors are described in the NRC Research Press Publication Policy (on the Journal Web site at http://pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/policy/index.html or available on request).
Duplicate and prior publication
The Editorial Board considers a paper not eligible for publication if most of the content of the paper (i ) is under consideration for publication or is published in a journal, or book chapter; (ii ) is under consideration for publication or is published in a conference proceedings or a government publication, with a substantial circulation (distributed to 100 or more individuals over a wide area). Authors may place a draft of a submitted article on their Web site or their organization抯 server, provided that the draft is not amended once accepted for publication. We encourage authors to insert hyperlinks from preprints to the final published version on the NRC Research Press Web site (pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca). Abstracts or extended abstracts related to conferences do not constitute prior publication. Extended abstracts are usually under 2000 words and do not include presentation of detailed tables and graphics of the results of the study.
Conflict of interest and disclosure
The Editor recognizes that authors and peer reviewers may have real or perceived conflicts of interest arising from intellectual, personal, or financial circumstances of their research. Submitted manuscripts should include full disclosure of funding sources for the research and the letter of transmission should include an explanation of any real or perceived conflicts of interest that may arise during the peer review process. Failure to disclose such conflicts may lead to refusal of a submitted manuscript.
Assurance of authorship
In the cover letter, the corresponding author must affirm that all of the authors have contributed substantially to the manuscript and approved the final submission. In addition, the corresponding author should ensure that all individuals listed as authors have made a substantive creative contribution to the work. Clerical or mechanical contributions or provision of financial support are not grounds for ascribing authorship but may instead be acknowledged in the Acknowledgement section of the manuscript. Conversely, all those, regardless of status, who have made a creative contribution to the generation or analysis of the data are entitled to authorship.
Photographs of people and photo manipulation
If a person pictured in a photograph is identifiable, his or her permission is required to publish the photo. The person will be asked to sign a letter or form allowing NRC Research Press to publish the photo.
Authors should be aware that the Journal considers digital images to be data. Hence, digital images submitted should contain the same data as the original image captured. Any manipulation using graphical software should be identified in the methods, including both the name of the software and the techniques used to enhance or change the graphic in any way. Such a disclaimer ensures that the methods are repeatable and ensures the scientific integrity of the work. The removal of artifacts or any (nonintegral) data held in the image is discouraged.
Parts of manuscript
The manuscript should be double-spaced, on paper 8.5 in. ?11 in. (or ISO A4). Each page should be numbered, beginning with the title page. For material that is to be set in italics, use an italic font; do not underline. Use capital letters only when the letters or words should appear in capitals. The manuscript will include, in the following order, title page, abstract, main body of the text, acknowledgements, references, list of symbols, tables, list of figure captions, and appendices.
Length ?Articles should normally be limited to 9000 words or word equivalents, including tables and figures. (As a guide, a typical figure should be counted as 250 words.) Technical notes, discussions, and book reviews should normally be limited to 3000, 2000, and 1000 words, respectively.
Spelling should follow that of Webster抯 Third New International Dictionary or the Oxford English Dictionary. Authors are responsible for consistency in spelling.
Abbreviations, nomenclature, and symbols for units of measurement should conform to international recommendations. SI units (Syst鑝e international d抲nit閟) should be used or SI equivalents should be given. This system is explained and other useful information is given in the Canadian Metric Practice Guide (2000) CAN/CSA-Z234.1?0, published by Canadian Standards Association (5060 Spectrum Way, Suite 100, Mississauga, ON M9W 1R3, Canada). For practical reasons, some exceptions to SI units are allowed. Acronyms should be defined when they are first mentioned in the text.
The title page should contain the following. (i ) The full title of the paper. (ii ) Authors listed in the order in which they are to appear at the head of the printed article. (iii ) Affiliation and address for each author. This should reflect the affiliation and address at the time of the study. Indicate current affiliations and addresses that differ from those in the by-line in a footnote. (iv ) Name, address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address of the author responsible for correspondence. (v ) Word count.
The Abstract should not be more than 150 words (shorter for notes), and on a separate page. The concise abstract should present the paper content accurately and should supplement, not duplicate, the title in this respect. References should not be cited in the abstract. Authors able to submit abstracts in both fluent English and French are encouraged to do so. Key words should not exceed 10 and should be placed directly below the abstract. Ideally, all key words used will be referenced in the Thesaurus of Engineering and Scientific Terms, published by the American Association of Engineering Societies, Washington, D.C.
Footnotes to material in the text should not be used unless they are unavoidable, but their use is encouraged in tables. Where used in the text, footnotes should be cited in the manuscript by superscript Arabic numbers (except in the tables, see below) and should be numbered serially beginning with any that appear on the title page. Each footnote should be typed on the manuscript page upon which the reference is made; footnotes should not be included in the list of references.
Equations should be presented clearly, triple-spacing should be used if superscripts and (or) subscripts are involved. Superscripts and subscripts should be legible and carefully placed. Distinguish between lowercase l and the numeral one, and between capital O and the numeral zero. A letter or symbol should represent only one entity and be used consistently throughout the paper. Each variable must be defined in the text, or in a List of symbols to appear after the reference list. Variables representing vectors, matrices, vector matrices, and tensors must be clearly identified. Numbers identifying equations must be in square brackets and placed flush with the left margin. In numbering, no distinction is made between mathematical and chemical equations.
Acknowledgements should be written in the third person and kept to a concise recognition of relevant contributions.
References ?The author is responsible for verifying each reference against the original article. Each reference must be cited in the text using the surnames of the authors and the year, for example, (Walpole 1985) or Green and Brown (2004). Depending on the sentence construction, the names may or may not be in parentheses, but the year must be. If there are three or more authors, the citation should give the name of the first author followed by et al. (e.g., Green et al. 2001). If references occur that are not uniquely identified by the authors?names and year, use a, b, c, etc., after the year, for example, Green 1993a, 1993b; Green and Brown 1998a, 1998b, for the text citation and in the reference list.
Uniform resource locators (URLs) or digital object identifiers (DOIs) are useful in locating references on the World Wide Web, and authors are encouraged to include these; they should be added to the reference in the reference list (see example).
Unpublished reports, private communications, and In press references ?/STRONG> References to unpublished reports, private communications, and papers submitted but not yet accepted are not included in the reference list but instead must be included as footnotes or in parentheses in the text, giving all authors?names with initials; for a private communication, year of communication should also be given (e.g., J.S. Jones (personal communication, 1999)). If an unpublished book or article has been accepted for publication, include it in the reference list followed by the notation 揑n press? Do not include volume, page number, or year in an in-press reference, as these are subject to change before publication.
The reference list must be fully double-spaced and placed at the end of the text. References must be listed in alphabetical order according to the name of the first author and not numbered. References with the same first author are listed in the following order. (i ) Papers with one author only are listed first in chronological order, beginning with the earliest paper. (ii ) Papers with dual authorship follow and are listed in alphabetical order by the last name of the second author. (iii ) Papers with three or more authors appear after the dual-authored papers and are arranged chronologically. Names of periodicals should be written out in full.
General guidelines on references
References to nonrefereed documents (e.g., contract reports) must include the address where they can be obtained.

Tables must be typed on separate pages, placed after the list of references, and numbered using Arabic numerals in the order cited in the text. The title of the table should be a concise description of the content. Column headings should be brief, but may be amplified by footnotes. Vertical rules should not be used. A copy of the Journal should be consulted to see how tables are set up and where the lines in them are placed. Footnotes in tables should be designated by symbols (in the order *, ? ? ? ll, ? #) or superscript lowercase italic letters. Descriptive material not designated by a footnote may be placed under a table as a Note. Numerous small tables should be avoided, and the number of tables should be kept to a minimum.
Figure captions should be double-spaced and listed on a separate page and placed after the tables.
Appendices ?Figures and tables used in an appendix should be numbered sequentially but separately from those used in the main body of the paper, for example, Fig. A1, Table A1, etc. An appendix should have its independent list of symbols.
Computer programs ?It is not the policy of the Journal to publish detailed printouts of computer program statements. Where the availability of these details enhances the usefulness of the paper, the author should submit two copies of the program for deposit (see 揝upplementary material?.
Supplementary material ?Supplementary material (or data) consists of extra tables, figures (maps), detailed calculations, and datasets produced by the authors as part of their research, but not essential for understanding or evaluating the paper, and not published with the article in the print edition of the journal. This material is never edited, converted, or scanned, and therefore will appear exactly as submitted. This is to prevent any errors from being inadvertently introduced during file manipulation or printing. Tables and figures should be numbered in sequence separate from those published with the paper (e.g., Fig. S1, Table S1) and all supplementary material should be referred to in the manuscript by footnotes. Supplementary material must be submitted with the article in electronic format. During Web submission (OSPREY), relevant files should be attached under 揝upplementary data?
If an electronic copy is provided, it will be made available in its native file format on the journal Web site (at no cost to readers). A copy of the electronic file(s) along with any hard copies of the data will also be deposited in the Depository of Unpublished Data, CISTI, National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, ON K1A 0R6. If author wishes to have a hard copy deposited with the Depository of Unpublished Data, they must provide the hard copy. Copies of the material from the depository may be purchased by readers or subscribers.
Illustrations
Each figure or group of figures should be planned to fit, after appropriate reduction, into the area of either one or two columns of text. The maximum finished size of a one-column illustration is 8.6 cm ?23.7 cm (3.4 in. ?9.3 in.) and that of a two-column illustration is 18.2 cm ?23.7 cm (7.2 in. ?9.3 in.). The figures (including halftones) must be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals, and each one must be referred to in the text and must be self-explanatory. All terms, abbreviations, and symbols must correspond with those in the text. Only essential labelling should be used, with detailed information given in the caption. The same information should not be presented in both graphical and tabular form.
Line drawings should be computer-generated graphics. All lines must be sufficiently thick (0.5 points minimum) to reproduce well, and all symbols, superscripts, subscripts, and decimal points must be in good proportion to the rest of the drawing and large enough to allow for any necessary reduction without loss of detail. Avoid small open symbols; these tend to fill in upon reproduction. The same font style and lettering sizes should be used for all figures of similar size in any one paper
Photographs should be continuous tone, of high quality, and with strong contrast. Only essential features should be shown. A photograph, or group of them, should be planned to fit into the area of either one or two columns of text with no further reduction. Electron micrographs or photomicrographs should include a scale bar directly on the print. The best results will be obtained if the authors match the contrast and density of all figures arranged as a single plate.
Multimedia ?Audio and video clips in the major multimedia formats are now accepted for NRC Research Press journals published in full-text HTML. For accepted formats, see List of Accepted Graphic Files at pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/journals/graphics.html
Colour illustrations will be at the author抯 expense. Further details on prices are available from Jennifer Stewart, Acting Managing Editor of the Journal (613-990-3474; fax: 613-952-7656; e-mail: jennifer.stewart@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca).
Preparation of Electronic Illustration Files
NRC Research Press prefers the submission of electronic illustration files for accepted manuscripts and will use these electronic files whenever possible.
If electronic files are not available or if those supplied are inadequate for reproduction, hard-copy originals of adequate quality, either previously supplied or requested from the author, will be scanned. Note that the scanner will easily reproduce flaws (e.g., correction fluid, smudges). Submission of noncontinuous (screened) photographs and scanned illustrations printed out on laser printers is not recommended, as moir閟 develop; a moir?is a noticeable, unwanted pattern generated by rescanning or rescreening an illustration that already contains a dot pattern.
Windows or Macintosh versions of True Type or Type 1 fonts should be used. Do not use bitmap or nonstandard fonts.
The preferred graphic application of NRC Research Press is CorelDraw! For other applications that can be used, see the electronic graphics list at pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/journals/graphics.html.
All figures should be submitted at their final published size. For figures with several parts (e.g., a, b, c, d, etc.) created using the same software application, assemble them into one file rather than sending several files.
Remember that the more complex your artwork becomes, the greater the possibility for problems at output time. Avoid complicated textures and shadings, especially in vector illustration programs; this increases the chance for a poor-quality final product.
Bitmap (raster) files ?Bitmaps are image files produced using a grid format in which each square (or pixel) is set to one level of black, colour or grey. A bitmap (rasterized) file is broken down into the number of pixels or picture elements per inch (ppi). Pixels per inch is sometimes referred to as dots per inch (dpi). The higher the resolution of an image, the larger the number of pixels contained within the rectangular grid.
The proper resolution should be used when submitting bitmap artwork. The minimum requirements for resolution are 600 dpi for line art, 1200 dpi for finelines (line art with fine lines or shading), 300 dpi for halftones and colour, and 600 dpi for combinations (halftones with lettering outside the photo area).
All colour files submitted must be as CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). These colours are used in full-colour commercial printing. RGB graphics (red, green, and blue; colours specifically used to produce an image on a monitor) will not print correctly.
Vector files ?Vector files are image files produced using elements such as lines and shapes. Typically these files are used for line drawings.
Bitmaps inside vector files ?Bitmaps can be imported into vector/draw applications only for the purpose of adding and overlaying information, lines, text, etc. Bitmaps should not be resized, cropped, rotated, or otherwise manipulated after importing.
