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
Seismic back calculation in structural engineering consists in the interpretation and reproduction of observed earthquake-induced damage patterns of structures. This article provides an overview of the methods used to this end in bridge engineering and presents a procedure for the back calculation. The methodological aspects, regarding investigations and modelling steps, are presented by a set of flowcharts. The procedure is applied on an existing Italian viaduct damaged during the L’Aquila 2009 earthquake. The damage state observed has been reproduced by an acceptable degree of precision indicating that the method can be a suitable tool for engineers facing this kind of problems.
