## Description

This MCP server provides engineering tools to determine the stability of foundations against vertical uplift forces. It accounts for soil friction, surcharge, and buoyancy effects from groundwater. Engineers can use `calculate_safety_factor` to check current stability, `calculate_required_weight` to find the necessary mass to reach a target safety margin, and `estimate_anchor_tension` to determine the capacity needed for mechanical anchors.

## Tools

### calculate_safety_factor
Determines if the current foundation configuration is stable against the applied uplift force

### calculate_required_weight
Determines how much additional mass must be added to the foundation to achieve a specific target stability level

### estimate_anchor_tension
Calculates the tension capacity required for mechanical anchors to compensate for insufficient weight

### get_soil_properties
Provides standard soil friction and unit weight constants for common soil types

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the safety factor for a 2x2x1m foundation in sand with 18 kN/m³ unit weight and 50 kN uplift force.
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated factor of safety is 1.85, which indicates the foundation is stable.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much extra weight is needed to reach a safety factor of 1.5 if my current factor is 1.2?
```

**Response:** 
```
An additional 12.5 kN of weight is required to achieve the target safety factor of 1.5.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the properties for clay soil?
```

**Response:** 
```
Standard clay properties include a friction coefficient of 0.25 and a unit weight of 19 kN/m³.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I check if my foundation is stable?**
You can use the `calculate_safety_factor` tool by providing the foundation dimensions, soil unit weight, and the expected uplift force.

**What happens if groundwater is present?**
The tool accounts for buoyancy by reducing the effective weight of the foundation and soil when groundwater is present.

**Can I calculate anchor requirements?**
Yes, use `estimate_anchor_tension` to find the required capacity for mechanical anchors to meet your target safety factor.
