Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Slender structures, such as towers, are characterized by a high sensitivity to dynamic excitation. As a consequence, meaningful information about their behavior under operational conditions can be obtained by monitoring their response to ambient vibrations. Furthermore, significant stresses could be induced to the ancient masonry walls when the dynamic forces due to the swinging of a bell are acting. To assess the structural conditions of a case study representative of such type of structures and to plan an adequate retrofit, numerical analyses are carried out on a model whose modal parameters are calibrated based on the elaboration of the results from the ambient vibrations tests. In particular, full time histories analyses are performed using as input either the signal recorded while the bell was hit by a hammer, or the numerically calculated dynamic forces that would be produced by the actual swinging of the bell. The first set of analyses aims to investigate the capability of an equivalent linear elastic model to capture the actual dynamic response of the structure. The second set of analyses provides an evaluation of the tower response when dynamic loads of higher intensity and likely occurrence are considered. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
