## Description

This MCP server provides professional-grade diagnostic tools for predicting the degradation of reinforced concrete due to atmospheric CO2. By modeling the diffusion of carbon dioxide into the concrete matrix, the server allows AI agents to assess structural health. Use `calculate_current_depth` to find existing penetration, `predict_time_to_corrosion` to forecast when the carbonation front hits the steel, and `calculate_remaining_service_life` to determine safe operating years. You can also use `evaluate_exposure_risk` to classify environmental severity based on CO2 and humidity levels.

## Tools

### calculate_remaining_service_life
Provides the remaining safe operating years for a structure given its current age and cover

### evaluate_exposure_risk
Classifies the environmental severity and the resulting impact on concrete durability

### predict_time_to_corrosion
Forecasts the specific year when the carbonation front will reach the steel reinforcement

### calculate_current_depth
Determines how deep carbonation has penetrated at a specific point in the structure's history

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the current carbonation depth for a 30MPa concrete with 5% CO2 and 60% humidity after 10 years?
```

**Response:** 
```
The current carbonation depth is 4.25 mm.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How many years of service life remain for a structure with 40mm cover, 35MPa strength, 4% CO2, and 50% humidity, if it is already 5 years old?
```

**Response:** 
```
The remaining service life is 35 years, with a total life expectancy of 40 years.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Assess the exposure risk for an environment with 6% CO2 and 70% humidity.
```

**Response:** 
```
The risk level is High, as high CO2 combined with moderate humidity accelerates carbonation significantly.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does concrete strength affect carbonation?**
Higher concrete strength typically results in lower permeability, which slows the ingress of CO2 and extends the service life.

**What is the significance of relative humidity in these calculations?**
Carbonation requires moisture for the chemical reaction. The tool uses humidity to determine the optimal rate of CO2 diffusion through the concrete pores.

**Can I predict when my structure will need repair?**
Yes, by using `predict_time_to_corrosion`, you can forecast the specific year the carbonation front reaches the reinforcement, signaling the need for intervention.
