Guidelines for Poster Presentation

Content

The title, authors' names, affiliations, and countries should be labeled clearly at the top of poster. All posters should be the submitted contribution as accepted by the Scientific Committee.

Size

The poster should be 90 cm (width) by 120 cm (length).

Mounting

The printed poster should be brought by the presenter. The poster board (100 cm (width) by 200 cm (length)) will be provided by the Secretariat. The poster may be attached to the board at eye level with stick tapes, pushpins, or double-sided tapes. Office supplies for mounting will be prepared by the Secretariat on site, but it is recommended that presenters bring one's own supplies.

*Optional: Poster presenters who would like to deliver a brief oral presentation will be provided with three minutes within maximum three slides. More detailed information about this optional oral presentation will be notified soon.

Conference technical sessions will address the following topics:

Materials

structural properties, grading, and quality control of wood-based materials

Connections

structural analysis, modeling and design of connections, long-term behavior, fatigue and effects of moisture for connections

Structural Performance
