PRO_VLIM EVOLUTION: VERIFICATION OF REINFORCED CONCRETE SECTIONS, INCLUDING FRP REINFORCEMENT AND FIRE RESISTANCE.

PRO_VLIM Evolution extends PRO_VLIM’s capabilities by enabling the analysis of sections reinforced with composite materials such as FRP, in accordance with the guidelines of the Italian High Council of Public Works (C.S.LL.PP.), and performing analytical fire resistance checks for reinforced concrete sections. This tool is designed for engineers who need to analyze FRP reinforcement or conduct fire resistance verifications.

The benefits of PRO_VLIM EVOLUTION

Versatility and advanced features

The software includes all PRO_VLIM functionalities, providing a comprehensive environment for reinforced concrete section verification.

Fire resistance tests

PRO_VLIM Evolution enables analytical fire resistance verification of reinforced concrete sections in compliance with UNI 9502 (2001) and UNI EN 1992-1-2:2005 standards, using both simplified and advanced methods.

Verification of reinforced sections with FRP

The software allows verification of sections reinforced with FRP, in accordance with CNR DT 200, ensuring compliance with the latest structural strengthening guidelines.

REFERENCE TECHNICAL STANDARDS

PRO_VLIM Evolution is developed in compliance with UNI 9502 (May 2001), UNI EN 1992-1-2:2005 simplified or advanced methods for fire resistance verification, and according to CNR DT 200 standards for FRP materials.

FIELDS OF APPLICATION

CALCULATION METHODS

The software employs verification methods based on Ultimate Limit States (ULS), Serviceability Limit States (SLS), and allowable stresses, extended to sections reinforced with FRP and fire condition assessments.

INPUT DATA

The input follows the same workflow as PRO_VLIM, allowing geometry import from DXF files, direct drawing within the software, or acquisition of sections and loads from PRO_SAP models. Loads can be entered manually or imported automatically from PRO_SAP.

OUTPUT

Available results include:

The 3D resistance domain and its 2D representations, including for sections reinforced with FRP.
Strain diagrams of steel and concrete at Ultimate Limit States (ULS).
Reduced failure domain due to fire exposure (for sections generated in PRO_SAP).
Temperature distribution map over the duration of fire exposure.
