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
Some of the marine and structural issues related to the installation of an offshore wind farm three miles away from the shoreline of Gela (Italy) are discussed. In particular, the characterization of the maritime climate has been carried out by considering the winds, the waves, the mean water level variations and the current regime. The results of such an analysis have been used in order to determine the environmental loads on the foundation structure. A gravity based structural type has been proposed as foundation of the wind turbines and the design of a foundation prototype has been carried out by trying to implement the most updated international standards to the Sicilian case. An original automatic optimization procedure has been developed in order to determine the dimensions of the design foundation, which satisfied the prescribed static verifications and provided the lowest costs. The scour process at the basis of the foundation and the wave run-up on the structure have been also taken into account. Finally, problems related to the laying and the maintenance of electrical connection cables are also discussed.
