## Description

This MCP server provides precise tools for structural engineers to predict and validate concrete cracking. Use `calculate_crack_width` to determine physical crack width and spacing based on reinforcement stress, bar diameter, and concrete properties. You can use `get_exposure_limits` to find maximum allowable widths for specific environmental classes like XC1 or XS1, and `validate_crack_compliance` to check if your measured cracks meet safety standards. Additionally, `analyze_geometry_impact` helps evaluate how changing the concrete cover or bar diameter affects crack propagation.

## Tools

### analyze_geometry_impact
Evaluates how changes in cover or bar diameter affect the potential crack width

### calculate_crack_width
Determines the physical width of a crack based on mechanical and geometric inputs

### get_exposure_limits
g., XC1, XS1, XF1) to get the allowable crack width limits.

Retrieves the maximum allowable crack width based on the environmental exposure class

### validate_crack_compliance
Checks if a specific set of crack parameters meets the limits of a specific exposure class

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the crack width for a reinforcement stress of 250 MPa, bar diameter of 20 mm, cover of 40 mm, concrete strength of 35 MPa, and a strain gradient of 0.001.
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated crack width is 0.12 mm with a spacing of 150 mm, which is compliant with standard exposure limits.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the maximum allowable crack width for the XS1 exposure class?
```

**Response:** 
```
For the XS1 exposure class, the maximum allowable crack width is 0.20 mm.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
If I increase the concrete cover from 30 mm to 50 mm, how will it affect the crack width?
```

**Response:** 
```
Increasing the concrete cover to 50 mm results in a 15% reduction in the predicted crack width.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I check if my crack width is safe?**
Use the `validate_crack_compliance` tool. Provide the measured crack width and the relevant environmental exposure class to see if it meets safety limits.

**Can I simulate changes in reinforcement geometry?**
Yes, the `analyze_geometry_impact` tool allows you to test how modifying the bar diameter or concrete cover affects the resulting crack width.

**What environmental classes are supported?**
The tool supports standard exposure classes such as XC1, XS1, and XF1 via the `get_exposure_limits` tool.
