Jurnal Teknik Sipil is an open access and peer reviewed scientific journal and published manuscripts in Civil Engineering i.e. Structures, Geotechnics, Hydrology & Hydraulics, Transportation, Construction Engineering and Management, Infrastructure Management, Disaster Management, and other pertinent fields related to Civil Engineering. Articles must be the results of recently conducted research (not more than 5 years). They must neither be previously nor simultaneously submitted in any journal nor published elsewhere except in a preliminary form.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

An acceptable manuscript will meet the following general criteria: it reports a worthwhile contribution to civil engineering, methodology is well and clearly explained with sufficient details. Results and discussion are supported by sufficient scope data, manuscripts is concise, well written, and understandable.  Conclusion summarized the results and showed specific findings.

MANUSCRIPT FORMAT

Manuscript should be uploaded to JURNAL TEKNIK SIPIL open journal system (OJS) at https://journal.maranatha.edu/index.php/jts/ and composed in Jurnal Teknik Sipil standard format. The manuscripts were typed at one sided A4 paper, single column, 1.5 space line, font 11 point Times New Roman and with continuous line numbers. Margins on top, right, and bottom sides are 3 cm, and margin on left side 4cm. The minimum number of manuscripts from the title, up to the conclusion, is a minimum of 10 pages (not including references). For the total length of the article a maximum of 20 pages.

AUTHORS

Manuscript has main author and co-authors with full name of both author and co-authors (no abbreviation).  The author should indicate the affiliation institute with clear mail address and email.

ABSTRACT

The abstract comes after title and author names in the first page of manuscript. Abstract must be integrated and independent which is consisted of introduction and purpose, methods, results, conclusion and suggestion. References and non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided. Abstract contained not more than 200 words.

KEYWORDS

The keywords should avoid general and plural terms and multiple concepts. Do not use words or terms in the title as keywords. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes. Keywords should not less than 3 words or phrases in alphabetical order.

INTRODUCTION

State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background. Avoid a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Explain how to address the problem and clearly state the aims of the study.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

It should be mentioned the period and place of research. All materials and methods that used such numerical for analysis, laboratory and experimental design must be stated clearly and briefly. The unit measurement used SI (International Standard Unit) and symbols.  Use slash instead of exponent (e.g. kN/m). Use words when unit of measure is not involved (e.g.man per area). In the case of range of values, indicate the unit at the end of the range (e.g. 10-15 kN/m²). Avoid beginning a sentence with a symbol. Use percent symbol (%) with figures only (e.g. 5%), and spell it out (percent) with written numbers.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Results presented should be consistent with the objectives of the study. Discussion should be done for integration purposes, i.e. within the results of the study or with reference to other studies.

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

Conclusion should include the summary and implications of major findings of the study. Suggestion can be included or be stated under the heading “Suggestion”;

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Indicate the source(s) of funds and institutions or individuals who helped in the study.

REFERENCES

Articles should contain at least 10 primary research papers, 80% from journal articles and preferably have been published not more than 10 years. Unpublished data and personal communication should not be included as literature citations. “In Press” articles that have been accepted for publication may be cited in references and should indicate the publication date, if available. All references should be written down in reference tool manager i.e. Mendeley using American Psychological Association (APA) 7^th Edition style and arranged from A to Z.
