Comparison of two different structural design solutions for a residential building: ordinary reinforced concrete and NPS system

The dissertation examines the comparison between two different design methods, analysing the behaviour of each one in relation to several aspects: design characteristics, load bearing capacity, environmental impact and costs. Each aspect was examined in detail, following carefully the construction process of a new building near Bologna. Thus, the main aim was to assess which of the two approaches was more advantageous overall for the case study considered.
