Some comments on finite element analysis 330 $aAvoiding or controlling fatigue damage is a major issue in the design and inspection of welded structures subjected to dynamic loading. Life predictions are usually used for safe life analysis, i.e. for verifying that it is very unlikely that fatigue damage will occur during the target service life of a structure. Damage tolerance analysis is used for predicting the behavior of a fatigue crack and for planning of in-service scheduled inspections. It should be a high probability that any cracks appearing are detected and repaired before they become critical.

Using participatory planning of green infrastructure and application of nature-based solutions to address urban challenges, landscape urbanism seeks to reintroduce critical connections between natural and urban systems. In light of ongoing developments in landscape architecture, the goal is a paradigm shift towards a landscape that restores and rehabilitates urban ecosystems. Nine contributions examine a wide range of successful cases of designing livable and resilient cities in different geographical contexts, from the United States of America to Australia and Japan, and through several European cities in Italy, Portugal, Estonia, and Greece. While some chapters attempt to conceptualize the interconnections between cities and nature, others clearly have an empirical focus. Efforts such as the use of ornamental helophyte plants in bioretention ponds to reduce and treat stormwater runoff, the recovery of a poorly constructed urban waterway or participatory approaches for optimizing the location of green stormwater infrastructure and examining the environmental justice issue of equative availability and accessibility to public open spaces make these innovations explicit. Thus, this volume contributes to the sustainable cities goal of the United Nations. 610 $apublic perception 610 $aurban sustainability 610 $apublic open space 610 $alandscape urbanism 610 $aurban ecology 610 $are-naturing cities 610 $afloating treatment wetland 610 $aviable city 610 $adeprived areas 610 $aurban planning 610 $arenaturing cities 610 $aGreece 610 $apostal questionnaire 610 $apedestrian zones 610 $astreet verges 610 $alandscape first 610 $apublic green infrastructure (PGI) 610 $aresource rationalization 610 $acontext-sensitive design 610 $agreen infrastructure 610 $aenvironmental justice 610 $ariver restoration 610 $apublic amenity 610 $awell-being 610 $asustainable cities 610 $aJapan 610 $arecreation 610 $aplant ecology 610 $asocial equity 610 $arunoff 610 $asustainable development 610 $aSoviet-era housing blocks 610 $aregenerative design 610 $abiophilic urbanism 610 $alivability 610 $apost-postmodernism 610 $alandscape history 610 $anature-based solutions 610 $avacant land 610 $anature-based solution 610 $abuilt environment 610 $agreen stormwater infrastructure (GSI) 610 $aurban nature (UN) 610 $aurban design 610 $ageographic information systems 610 $alandscape theory 610 $aurban geography 610 $aresidents? views 610 $apollutant removal 610 $aliveability 610 $avisitor satisfaction survey 610 $abiophilic design 610 $aImportance-Performance Analysis (IPA) 610 $aurban nature 610 $aspontaneous vegetation 610 $aAsia 610 $agreen gentrification 610 $asite suitability modeling 610 $alandscape architecture 610 $aRoma minority 610 $aPhiladelphia 700 $aPanagopoulos$b Thomas$01296344 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367567703321 996 $aLandscape Urbanism and Green Infrastructure$93024023 997 $aUNINA
