1INTRODUction (style: heading 1/titolo 1)

Instructions for the preparation of the manuscript are given in this paper. Please follow the format described here and demonstrated by example with regard to placement of titles, tables, figures, headings, etc…

These instructions serve as an example for proper manuscript production. All text of the paragraphs follow the “Normal” (or “Normale”) styleand must be single-spaced, without blank line inserted between paragraphs. The paragraphs should be no indentedand should be justified at left and right margins of the text.

The styles available in the current paper are:

  • POLI_title
  • POLI_author
  • POLI_affiliation

  • POLI_figure caption
  • POLI_table caption
  • POLI_header L
  • POLI_header R
  • POLI_formula
  • POLI_references

1.2Notes(style: heading 2/titolo 2)

d) References should appear together at the end of the paper, listed alphabetically by last name of the first author;thereafter sorting is made by co-authors and year.Example reference citations are provided at the end of this paper.

In the text, the references to one or more authorsappear as following:

Author1, 2001; Author1 and Author2, 2002; Author1et al., 2004.

e) Please, do not underline the words within the text of the paper (you can use bold or italics).

1.3Figures and tables(style: heading 2/titolo 2)

Before to add a figure in the text, please insert a blank line. The figures (photos, graphs…) have to be in grey scale and the minimum resolution is 600 dpi.Figure captions should be below the figures.

Figure 1. Example of a figure caption (style: POLI_caption figure).

Figure2. Example of a figure caption (style: POLI_caption figure).

If you add more figures (see above Figure 1 and Figure 2), you have to insert the blank line only before the first figure. In the text the reference to a figure is: “Figure 1”, “Figure 2”, etc...

Table 1. Example of a table caption (style: POLI_caption table).

(Stato Limite) / CU / VN [anni]
81% Operatività (SLO) / 0.7 (I. Strutture secondarie) /  10 (Opere provvisorie)
63% Danno (SLD) / 1.0 (II. Strutture ordinarie) /  50 (Opere ordinarie)
10% Salvaguardia della vita (SLV) / 1.5 (III. Strutture importanti) /  100 (Grandi opere)
5% Prevenzione del Collasso (SLC) / 2.0 (IV. Strutture strategiche)

After to insert a figure in the text, please add a blank line. Table heads should appear above the tables. In the text the reference to a table is: “Table 1”, “Table 2”, etc...
