\maketitle
\section{Introduction}
State the problem and the aim of the paper. Please follow these rules:
\begin{bulletlist}
\item Maximum 8~pages, including the references.
\item Write in British English.
\item Do not anonymise the paper. Do not change the layout or add an appendix.
\item Check these limits yourself: maximum 8~pages, 250 words in the abstract, 6 keywords and 2 lines in the title.
\item The section names Introduction, Background, Method, Results, Discussion and Conclusion are recommendations. We recommend that you use them.
\item Questions: numge2027@tugraz.at.
\end{bulletlist}
\section{Background}
Give the theory and earlier work. Cite sources as \citet{schanz1999} or as \citep{schanz1999}. Use \citep{chen2016,sudret2008} for several sources. Number equations consecutively, as shown in \autoref{eq:ex}:
\begin{numequation}{eq:ex}
q = \sigma_1 - \sigma_3 .
\end{numequation}
\section{Method}\label{sec:method}
Describe the model, the data and the procedure.
\subsection{Figures}
\begin{bulletlist}
\item Two fixed widths: one column (8.7~cm) or two columns (18.0~cm). Save the figure at exactly this width.
\item At least 300 dpi, or a vector format. Use 7--8~pt fonts.
\item Use PNG, JPG or PDF. Put all files in the main folder, with no subfolders and no spaces in the names.
\item One-column figures stay where you type them. Two-column figures go to the top of a page.
\item Do not type the full stop at the end of a caption. The class adds it.
\end{bulletlist}
\onecolfig{template_figure_1col}{One-column figure, 8.7~cm wide. Replace this file}{fig:one}
\twocolfig{template_figure_2col}{Two-column figure, 18.0~cm wide. Replace this file}{fig:two}
Each figure, table and equation gets a short name of your choice in its last braces, for example \texttt{fig:test}. To refer to it in the text, write \verb|\autoref{fig:test}|. LaTeX replaces this with the right number, for example ``Fig. 3''. Use a different name for each item. Use letters, numbers and a colon, without spaces. Write the name the same way in both places:
\begin{codeblock}
% file: template_figure_1col.png (write no .png)
% last braces = name, used as \autoref{fig:one}
\onecolfig{template_figure_1col}{Caption}{fig:one}
% two columns (18.0 cm wide)
\twocolfig{template_figure_2col}{Caption}{fig:two}
\end{codeblock}
\subsection{Tables}
\begin{bulletlist}
\item One column (8.7~cm). The caption is placed above the table.
\item The class counts the columns from the header row and adds all lines.
\item All cells are centred.
\end{bulletlist}
Copy this environment:
\begin{codeblock}
% last braces = name, used as \autoref{tab:ex}
\begin{onecoltable}{Caption}{tab:ex}
\tablehead{Parameter & Unit & Value}
$E_{50}$ & MPa & 30\\
$\varphi'$ & $^\circ$ & 32\\
\end{onecoltable}
\end{codeblock}
\subsection{Equations, units and lists}
\begin{bulletlist}
\item Write units as plain text after a space: 30~MPa, 18~kN/m$^3$, 32$^\circ$.
\item Write variables in italics, inside dollar signs: \verb|$E_{50}$|. Define each symbol at first use.
\item Use \texttt{numequation} for every equation. Write only the equation. A long equation breaks into lines automatically.
\item Use \texttt{bulletlist} for bullet points and \texttt{numberedlist} for numbered points. Write \verb|\item| before each point.
\end{bulletlist}
\begin{codeblock}
% braces = name, used as \autoref{eq:ex}
\begin{numequation}{eq:ex}
q = \sigma_1 - \sigma_3
\end{numequation}
\begin{bulletlist}
\item First point, with a reference \citep{schanz1999}.
\item Second point, see \autoref{fig:one}.
\end{bulletlist}
\begin{numberedlist}
\item First step.
\item Second step.
\end{numberedlist}
\end{codeblock}
The PDF shows:
\begin{bulletlist}
\item First point, with a reference \citep{schanz1999}.
\item Second point, see \autoref{fig:one}.
\end{bulletlist}
\begin{numberedlist}
\item First step.
\item Second step.
\end{numberedlist}
\subsection{References}
\begin{bulletlist}
\item Write every reference in \texttt{references.bib}. Copy the example of the same type and replace the text. In the text, write \verb|\citet{key}| for \citet{schanz1999} or \verb|\citep{key}| for \citep{schanz1999}.
\item The file has examples for a journal paper \citep{sudret2008}, a conference paper \citep{schanz1999}, a book \citep{potts1999}, a book chapter \citep{mustermann2020}, a thesis \citep{mustermann2019}, a report \citep{mustermann2021}, a standard \citep{cen2004} and a web page \citep{python2024}.
\item Cite every entry in the text.
\end{bulletlist}
\subsection{Headings}
\begin{bulletlist}
\item Use three levels: \verb|\section|, \verb|\subsection| and \verb|\subsubsection|. The numbers are 1, 1.1 and 1.1.1.
\item The class sets the numbers, the fonts and the spaces. Do not type a number and do not add a fourth level.
\item To refer to a heading, add \verb|\label{sec:name}| and write \verb|\autoref{sec:name}|.
\end{bulletlist}
\subsubsection{Third-level headings}\label{sec:third}
Use a third-level heading only to split a subsection into parts. This heading is an example: the PDF shows it as \ref{sec:third} in bold italic type. Write the title in sentence case, without a full stop:
\begin{codeblock}
\subsection{Headings}
\subsubsection{Third-level headings}\label{sec:third}
\end{codeblock}
\section{Results}
Present the results. Always refer to figures, tables, equations and sections
with \verb|\autoref{name}|. Do not type ``Figure'' or ``Table'' by hand. Example:
\begin{codeblock}
The test is shown in \autoref{fig:one}.
The input is given in \autoref{tab:ex}.
The result follows from \autoref{eq:ex}
(see \autoref{sec:method}).
\end{codeblock}
The PDF shows: The test is shown in \autoref{fig:one}. The input is given in
\autoref{tab:ex}. The result follows from \autoref{eq:ex} (see \autoref{sec:method}).
\begin{onecoltable}{Example table. Table captions go above the table}{tab:ex}
\tablehead{Parameter & Unit & Value}
$E_{50}^{\mathrm{ref}}$ & MPa & 30\\
$\varphi'$ & $^\circ$ & 32\\
\end{onecoltable}
\section{Discussion}
Interpret the results. Compare them with earlier work and name the limits.
\section{Conclusion}
Give the main findings in a few sentences.
\subsection{Submission}
Use Overleaf to write your paper. We recommend it. You submit the paper in ConfTool. Upload two files there:
\begin{numberedlist}
\item The source as one zip file. In Overleaf, click Menu, then Download, then Source.
\item The PDF. In Overleaf, click Menu, then Download, then PDF.
\end{numberedlist}
Check these points before you upload in ConfTool:
\begin{bulletlist}
\item Put all files in the main folder of the zip. Do not use subfolders. This includes the figures.
\item The zip contains the \texttt{.tex}, \texttt{.cls} and \texttt{.bib} files, all figures and all logos.
\item The PDF has a maximum of 8~pages and shows no red warning.
\end{bulletlist}
