It brings together over a decade of shared knowledge from the Baltimore Ecosystem Study to inspire ecologically motivated design practice.   The atlas displays maps and tables depicting land cover classes and the relationships between them; information on how the specific cover arrangements evolved over time; and speculations on how they might change through design, disturbance, or succession. Rather than separating human-constructed spaces from predominantly biological and geological ones, this book integrates social and ecological structures and shows how this can contribute to the scholarship of ecology and the practice of design. Interdisciplinary and strikingly illustrated, the atlas is a new way to study, measure, and view cities with a more effective interaction of scientific understanding and design practice. 606 $aCity planning$xComputer simulation 608 $aClassification.$2fast 615 0$aCity planning$xComputer simulation. 676 $a307.1216 700 $aMarshall$b Victoria J., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01559631 702 $aCadenasso$b Mary L., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aMcGrath$b Brian P., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793952903321 996 $aPatch Atlas$93824926 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02824oam 2200481 450 001 9910299499403321 005 20190911112725.0 010 $a3-319-02615-1 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-02615-2 035 $a(OCoLC)868920823 035 $a(MiFhGG)GVRL6WGX 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000074745 100 $a20130917d2014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun|---uuuua 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aIntegrated seismic design of structure and control systems /$fPaolo Castaldo 205 $a1st ed. 2014. 210 1$aCham [Switzerland] :$cSpringer,$d2014. 215 $a1 online resource (xi, 220 pages) $cillustrations (some color) 225 1 $aSpringer Tracts in Mechanical Engineering,$x2195-9862 300 $a"ISSN: 2195-9862." 311 $a3-319-02614-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aPassive Structural Control -- Passive Energy Dissipation Devices -- Dynamic Response of Systems Equipped with Viscous and Viscoelastic Dampers -- Modeling of Viscoelastic Dissipative Bracing Systems -- Integrated Design of Proportionally Damped Framed Structural Systems Equipped with Viscous Dampers -- Applying the Optimal Integrated Design Methodology. 330 $aThe structural optimization procedure presented in this book makes it possible to achieve seismic protection through integrated structural/control system design. In particular, it is explained how slender structural systems with a high seismic performance can be achieved through inclusion of viscous and viscoelastic dampers as an integral part of the system. Readers are provided with essential introductory information on passive structural control and passive energy dissipation systems. Dynamic analyses of both single and multiple degree of freedom systems are performed in order to verify the achievement of pre-assigned performance targets, and it is explained how the optimal integrated design methodology, also relevant to retrofitting of existing buildings, should be applied. The book illustrates how structural control research is opening up new possibilities in structural forms and configurations without compromising structural performance. 410 0$aSpringer tracts in mechanical engineering. 606 $aStructural control (Engineering) 606 $aCivil engineering 606 $aVibration 615 0$aStructural control (Engineering) 615 0$aCivil engineering. 615 0$aVibration. 676 $a620.11248 700 $aCastaldo$b Paolo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0791961 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299499403321 996 $aIntegrated Seismic Design of Structure and Control Systems$92204590 997 $aUNINA
