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
The construction of viaducts with Movable Scaffolding System (MSS) is a sophisticated. However, the construction sequence has a disadvantage of an insufficiently clear distribution of the top slab weight between the scaffolding and the first casting phase of the deck. In order to solve this problem designers assume that the whole weight of the top slab is supported by the scaffolding. In fact, if the whole weight is supposed to be resisted by the scaffolding, it implies that heavier, stifferand more expensive scaffoldings must be chosen to construct a viaduct. If the distribution of the top slab weight between the scaffolding and the first casting phase is clarified, the scaffolding can be chosen to resist lower loads, so as to lighter and cheaper scaffoldings can be selected. Moreover, if the top slab weight distribution is clarified, the stresses both at the deck and at the scaffolding can be determined more accurately. The contribution of this paper consists in clarifying the weight distribution between the first casting phase and the scaffolding. In order to achieve this objective, it identifies a number of parameters and investigates the importance of the hanger stiffness, as well as the influence of the first casting phase and the scaffolding stiffness.
