## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing diaphragm walls in deep excavations. It simulates the staged excavation process to calculate critical structural responses, including wall moment and shear diagrams. Engineers can use `analyze_wall_stability` to determine maximum forces, `calculate_strut_loads` to find axial compressive loads on support systems, and `determine_embedment_requirement` to ensure stability against sliding or kicking out. It also allows querying specific soil properties at any depth using `get_soil_properties_at_depth`.

## Tools

### calculate_strut_loads
Determines the compressive forces acting on each installed strut

### determine_embedment_requirement
Calculates the minimum depth the wall must be embedded below the excavation base to ensure stability

### get_soil_properties_at_depth
Retrieves the specific physical properties of the soil at a requested vertical coordinate

### analyze_wall_stability
Calculates the primary structural responses of the wall throughout the excavation process

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the stability of a 15m excavation with a 0.8m thick wall and a water table at 3m.
```

**Response:** 
```
The analysis shows a maximum bending moment of 450 kNm/m and a maximum shear force of 120 kN/m for the specified excavation depth and soil profile.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the forces on struts installed at 5m and 10m for this excavation?
```

**Response:** 
```
The strut at 5m is experiencing a compressive force of 250 kN, and the strut at 10m is experiencing 310 kN.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How deep must the wall be embedded for a 20m excavation?
```

**Response:** 
```
The minimum required embedment depth to ensure stability is 6.5 meters.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool handle water pressure?**
The tool accounts for hydrostatic pressure by using the provided groundwater level to calculate the additional lateral pressure acting on the wall and the soil.

**Can I calculate the forces on my support struts?**
Yes, you can use the `calculate_strut_loads` tool to determine the axial compressive forces acting on each strut at specific depths.

**What information is needed for stability analysis?**
To perform a stability analysis, you need to provide the excavation depth, the soil profile, the groundwater level, and the wall thickness.
