APPLICATION-TECHINQUE RECOMMENDATION

Eng. Alessio Argentoni, R&D NPS® |
NPS® Wall is especially recommended for "high" and multi-storey buildings, for constructions which present structural "irregularity", and for heights and plans with high performance precast technology. The NPS® Wall bracing wall building design is more convenient compared to other types of seismic-resistant buildings, both from a structurally effective point of view and from a design flexibility point of view (since the structures which must absorb horizontal loads should be separated – seismic force and wind - from members which support the only vertical loads), and from the simplicity of execution and control at the site. |
