## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for managing thermal risks in mass concrete construction. It uses an adiabatic temperature rise model to predict how cement hydration affects core temperatures. Engineers can use `calculate_peak_temperature` to find maximum heat levels, `evaluate_thermal_risk` to assess cracking potential based on temperature gradients, and `determine_cooling_requirements` to decide if internal cooling pipes are necessary. The server also includes `simulate_mix_design` to compare how fly ash replacement impacts the heat profile.

## Tools

### calculate_peak_temperature
Determines the maximum theoretical temperature the concrete core will reach

### determine_cooling_requirements
Identifies if internal cooling is necessary and what type of cooling is needed

### evaluate_thermal_risk
Assesses the risk of cracking by comparing temperature differences and stresses

### simulate_mix_design
Allows the user to compare how different cement/fly ash combinations affect the heat profile

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What will be the peak temperature for 350kg/m³ of Type I cement?
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated peak temperature for 350kg/m³ of Type I cement is 62.5°C, with a total adiabatic rise of 58.2°C.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is there a cracking risk for a 5m³ element with a 60°C core temperature and 20°C ambient temperature?
```

**Response:** 
```
The risk level is High. The temperature gradient is 40°C and the calculated thermal stress is 12.4 MPa, which exceeds standard safety thresholds.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Should I use cooling pipes if my max allowable stress is 10 MPa?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, cooling is required. The calculated thermal stress exceeds your 10 MPa limit, and the recommended method is Internal Cooling Pipes.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this tool help prevent concrete cracking?**
By using `evaluate_thermal_risk`, you can identify if the temperature gradient between the core and the surface exceeds safe limits, allowing you to implement mitigation strategies like insulation or cooling before cracking occurs.

**Can I simulate the effect of fly ash?**
Yes, the `simulate_mix_design` tool allows you to compare different cement and fly ash combinations to see how they affect the total heat release and peak temperature.

**What determines if I need cooling pipes?**
The `determine_cooling_requirements` tool evaluates the calculated thermal stress and temperature gradient against your specific project limits to recommend if internal cooling pipes are required.
