## Description

This MCP server provides professional-grade tools for concrete mix design based on the ACI methodology. It allows engineers and technicians to calculate the exact mass of cement, water, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate required for 1 m³ of concrete. Use `calculate_proportions` to determine the base mix, `adjust_for_moisture` to account for aggregate moisture states, and `validate_workability` to ensure the target slump is achievable within the specified water-cement ratio. It also provides access to physical constants via `get_cement_constants`.

## Tools

### adjust_for_moisture
Modifies the calculated water and aggregate weights based on the existing moisture state of the aggregates

### calculate_proportions
Calculates the complete mass of all constituent materials for 1 m³ of concrete

### get_cement_constants
Retrieves the specific properties and water requirements associated with a specific cement type

### validate_workability
Checks if the proposed mix can achieve the requested slump without exceeding the w/c ratio limit

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate a mix for 30 MPa strength using Type I cement, 20mm aggregate, and a 0.45 water-cement ratio.
```

**Response:** 
```
For a 30 MPa target strength, the required mix per 1 m³ is: 350.5 kg of cement, 157.7 kg of water, 780.2 kg of fine aggregate, and 1050.4 kg of coarse aggregate.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a 0.50 w/c ratio with 25mm aggregate feasible for a 100mm slump?
```

**Response:** 
```
The mix is feasible. The estimated slump is 115mm, which meets your 100mm requirement. No additional admixtures are strictly required for this consistency.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the properties for Type V cement?
```

**Response:** 
```
Type V cement has a specific gravity of 3.15 and a typical water demand of 165 kg/m³ for standard mixes.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I account for wet aggregates in my mix?**
You should use the `adjust_for_moisture` tool. Provide the output from the initial proportion calculation and the moisture data for your aggregates to get the corrected weights.

**Can I check if my target slump is realistic?**
Yes, use the `validate_workability` tool. It checks if the combination of water-cement ratio, aggregate size, and slump requirement is physically feasible.

**Does this tool handle environmental exposure limits?**
Yes, the `calculate_proportions` tool accepts an `exposureCategory` to ensure the water-cement ratio complies with durability requirements for Mild, Moderate, or Severe conditions.
