PVR

PVR Version 7.2 for Windows is a major update of the popular PVR for DOS program (© Gary G. LaFrance, P.E., 1991, 1995, 2003) for calculating swell potential (potential vertical rise) of foundation clays by the 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 7.2 for Windows has been designed as a 32-bit application for the Windows 9x, Me, 2000, XP and NT4 operating systems with the standard Windows graphical user interface and features.

***SI (metric) or English units with auto-detect feature.
