## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools to determine the surface properties of concrete. By analyzing core compressive strength, curing methods, and surface finishes, you can use `calculate_surface_hardness` to obtain a full hardness report. For non-destructive testing simulations, `estimate_rebound_impact` predicts the energy returned by a mass striking the surface. Additionally, `evaluate_abrasion_resistance` assesses how well a surface will withstand wear based on chemical and mechanical states, such as carbonation or surface treatments.

## Tools

### calculate_surface_hardness
Provides a comprehensive suite of hardness and wear metrics for a given concrete profile

### evaluate_abrasion_resistance
Determines how well the surface will withstand wear based on its chemical and mechanical state

### estimate_rebound_impact
Specifically calculates the expected rebound number for non-destructive testing simulations

### get_hardness_correlation_factors
Retrieves the adjustment multipliers used to transform core strength into surface metrics

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the rebound number for a specific concrete finish?**
You can use the `estimate_rebound_impact` tool by providing the core compressive strength and the specific surface finish type.

**Does the tool account for chemical hardeners?**
Yes, the `calculate_surface_hardness` tool allows you to include the `hardenerType` to adjust the hardness and wear metrics accordingly.

**Can I assess wear resistance for treated surfaces?**
Yes, use `evaluate_abrasion_resistance` and specify if a surface treatment is present to get an accurate rating.
