Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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
In a period characterized by the urgent need of enhancing the safety level of the building stock, including architectural heritage, externally bonded textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) systems are emerging as a particularly advantageous strengthening solution. Their use on unreinforced masonry arched members appears one of the most promising fields of application, but an improved understanding still needs to be gained on the behavior of TRM retrofitted interstorey vaults. This article describes an experimental investigation on full-scale masonry vaults, provided with buttresses and backfill, reinforced with basalt textile-reinforced mortar (BTRM) overlays either at the intrados or at the extrados. Cyclic load was applied at 1/3 span over the backfill. Digital Image Correlation was used to detect full-field displacements and map crack development. Both strengthening solutions proved effective in delaying crack occurrence and improving arch-fill interaction, enhancing both load-carrying and deflection capacity. A limit analysis-based method provided reliable ultimate strength estimates for engineering design and assessment purposes.
