Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Tables elsarticle 5p (2 column)

[Genoves]

Hello,

I've been searching for a long time about this stuff but I don't know how to solve it.

Im working on \documentclass[5p]{elsarticle} and I'm having several problems with tables on this document. I use this code:

Code: Select all

\begin{table*}
  \centering
  \caption{Dosages}
    \begin{tabular}{rcccccc}
\toprule
    \multicolumn{1}{c}{} & \multicolumn{4}{c}{ESA}       & \multicolumn{2}{c}{ISA} \\
    
\cmidrule(r){2-5}
\cmidrule(r){6-7}

    \multicolumn{1}{l}{} & 0.5-G & 0.5-W & 0.6-G & 0.6-W & 0.6-0\% & 0.6-3\% \\
    \midrule
    \multicolumn{1}{l}{w/c} & 0.5   & 0.5   & 0.6   & 0.6   & 0.6   & 0.6 \\
    \multicolumn{1}{l}{Sand} & 1350  & 1350  & 1350  & 1350  & 1350  & 1350 \\
    \multicolumn{1}{l}{\%CaSO4} & -     & -     & -     & -     & 0     & 3 \\
    \multicolumn{1}{l}{Cement type} & SR    & BL    & SR    & BL    & BL    & BL \\
    \bottomrule
    \end{tabular}
  \label{tab1}
\end{table*}

I use \begin{table*} environment in order to put "huge" tables on 2 column document (Table occupies the full width of the paper)

The problem is I CAN'T place the table where I want (using [b],[!h], etc...) and always appear at the top of the page. If I insert another table on the document automatically appears below the previous.

Thank you so much

EDIT: I've been trying to do this on

Code: Select all

\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}

and I cant also place the tables where I want on the page... : (
