## Description

This MCP server provides a complete suite of structural engineering tools for the design and verification of reinforced concrete shear walls. It allows engineers to calculate required wall thickness, determine if special boundary elements are needed, design vertical and horizontal reinforcement ratios, and verify the final structural capacity against design loads. The tools handle complex considerations such as axial loads, bending moments, shear forces, and the presence of wall openings.

## Tools

### design_reinforcement
Calculates the required vertical and horizontal reinforcement ratios

### calculate_wall_thickness
Determines the minimum required thickness of the wall to prevent lateral instability or shear crushing

### check_wall_capacity
Verifies if the designed wall meets the required design loads

### evaluate_boundary_elements
Identifies if special boundary elements (SBE) are required and calculates their dimensions

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the minimum thickness needed for a 5m wall with 1000kN shear and 30MPa concrete?
```

**Response:** 
```
The minimum required thickness for the wall is 250 mm.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Does a 4m wall with 1500kN axial load and 200kNm moment need special boundary elements?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, special boundary elements are required for this configuration.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check the capacity of a wall with 300mm thickness, 0.005 vertical ratio, and 0.004 horizontal ratio under 500kN shear.
```

**Response:** 
```
The wall has a shear capacity of 650 kN, which satisfies the 500 kN requirement.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the required wall thickness?**
You can use the `calculate_wall_thickness` tool by providing the wall length, shear force, and concrete strength.

**Can this tool help with seismic design requirements?**
Yes, the `evaluate_boundary_elements` tool helps identify if special boundary elements are required to ensure ductility during seismic events.

**How do I verify if my design is safe?**
Use the `check_wall_capacity` tool to compare your design's moment, shear, and axial capacities against the applied design loads.
