## Description

This MCP server provides engineering tools to classify concrete exposure based on environmental stressors like chloride levels, freeze-thaw cycles, and carbonation risk. It uses `get_exposure_classification` to identify required material properties such as minimum concrete grade, maximum w/c ratio, and minimum cover. Engineers can also use `validate_material_compliance` to verify mix designs, `check_freeze_thaw_mitigation` for air-entrainment needs, and `calculate_carbonation_depth_risk` to estimate corrosion onset.

## Tools

### calculate_carbonation_depth_risk
Estimate the risk level of carbonation based on environmental factors

### check_freeze_thaw_mitigation
Determine specific requirements for air-entrainment or density when freeze-thaw cycles are a primary concern

### get_exposure_classification
Identify the specific exposure class and required material specifications for a given set of environmental conditions

### validate_material_compliance
Verify if a proposed concrete mix design meets the requirements of a specific exposure class

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the concrete requirements for a marine environment with high chloride levels and a 50-year design life?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a marine environment with high chloride levels and a 50-year design life, the required minimum concrete grade is 40 MPa, the maximum w/c ratio is 0.40, and the minimum reinforcement cover is 50 mm.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a concrete mix with a grade of 30 MPa, w/c ratio of 0.5, and 30mm cover compliant for a moderate exposure class?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, the proposed mix is not compliant. The w/c ratio of 0.5 exceeds the maximum allowed for this class, and the 30mm cover is below the required minimum.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the carbonation risk for concrete with 0.7 humidity and 0.2 porosity?
```

**Response:** 
```
The carbonation risk is high. The estimated years to corrosion onset is 15 years, and a minimum cover of 45 mm is recommended.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I know if my concrete mix is compliant?**
You can use the `validate_material_compliance` tool by providing the target exposure class, the proposed grade, w/c ratio, and reinforcement cover.

**Can this tool account for protective coatings?**
Yes, when using `get_exposure_classification`, you can specify if protective measures are being used to potentially relax certain requirements.

**What standards does the classification follow?**
The system reconciles requirements based on international standards including ACI, EN, and AS.
