Italy Is the Country of the Year for Prota Software

ProtaStructure Suite Expands to Italy
ProtaStructure Suite, a comprehensive software for building design, entered 18 new countries worldwide in 2021. Italy is among these new additions, where the software is now actively used. Throughout the year, we introduced ProtaStructure Suite to many new Italian users, marking a significant milestone. 🎊🥳

We Want To Strengthen the Future of ProtaStructure Suite Italy Together

Italy faces a high risk of earthquakes, with 174 earthquake regions and many vulnerable buildings. The country’s dense population and heritage further increase its exposure to damage. Earthquakes in Italy occur frequently and are often strong enough to cause significant destruction.

ProtaStructure Suite equips structural engineers with powerful tools to design and detail buildings quickly and cost-effectively. The software ensures compliance with earthquake standards, including EC codes, to meet Italy’s rigorous requirements.

At Prota Software, we aim to help engineers create safe and reliable buildings while retrofitting existing ones to meet national earthquake standards.

Comprehensive Seismic Design Features

ProtaStructure Suite offers advanced features for seismic design and analysis, including:

• Response Spectrum Analysis
• Two-Stage Analysis for Upper and Lower Structure
• Vertical and Horizontal Irregularities
• Consideration of Cracked and Uncracked Sections in One Analysis
• Nonlinear Time-History Analysis
• Wall Coupling Beams

These tools empower engineers to handle Italy’s seismic challenges effectively.

ProtaStructure Suite Italy Language Is Coming Soon

With a growing user base, Italian language support will be added to ProtaStructure Suite this year. Recent updates already include Romanian, Serbian, Portuguese, and Slovenian. Additionally, we are working on including Italian national annexes, tailored for our Italian users.

All in all, we believe Italy is a better place than it was in 2020. As a country with rich culture and engineering challenges, it holds a special place for Prota Software. Thus, we are proud to announce that Italy is our Country of the Year!
