PVR Version 8.0 for Windows is a major update of PVR which is used to calculate the swell potential (potential vertical rise) of foundation clays by the McDowell Method (original TxDOT Test Method Tex-124). Sold commercially since 1993, PVR is used by leading geotechnical consultants in the South and Southwest (U.S.A.) where the semi-arid climate, moisture variations, and the presence of foundation clays pose a concern over the performance of shallow building foundations. PVR Version 8.0 for Windows has been designed as a 32-bit application for the Windows 9x, Me, 2000, XP, NT4 and Vista operating systems with the standard Windows graphical user interface and features.
POST_P (© Gary G. LaFrance, P.E., 2009)
POST_P is a new 32-bit Windows program for batch processing ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data acquired with the Ramac X3M manufactured by Malå GeoScience, Malå, Sweden. Batch processing includes truncating profiles to the same length, reversing the direction of selected profiles, and creating additional, interpolated profiles by inverse distance weighting (IDW). POST_P is used to set up the Malå GPR data into a format that can be used by Slicer Dicer(tm).
Slicer Dicer(tm) is low-cost 3D visualization software which performs a wide range of 3D graphics, including creating chair diagrams, rotating objects, making translucent blocks, etc. The 3D presentations of the GPR data can be printed, exported, or screen captured from Slicer Dicer(tm) for inclusion in a report.
