The Market Hall of Novara is open for business again after the redevelopment and safety check thanks to NPS® system: a seismic-resistant structure featuring 110 arches in plain sight and high aesthetic quality.
BMS Progetti carried out the structural analysis, the various models were then shared with Tecnostrutture and with the technicians of the City of Novara.
The property was outlined and analyzed using a finite elements model of “frames” type, taking into account the actual geometric features and the stiffness of all the structural elements. Shellelements were used to simulate the stiffness of the ground floor and transfer its surface loads to the model.
