## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing temporary excavation support systems. It allows AI agents to determine the most appropriate support type using `analyze_support_feasibility`, calculate required embedment and wall movement with `calculate_wall_stability`, determine strut spacing via `design_lateral_bracing`, and evaluate performance through `simulate_staged_excavation`.

## Tools

### analyze_support_feasibility
Determine the most appropriate support type for given site conditions

### calculate_wall_stability
Calculate required embedment depth and lateral wall movement

### design_lateral_bracing
Determine the spacing of struts needed to hold the wall in place

### simulate_staged_excavation
Evaluate support system performance through various stages of soil removal

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What support type is best for a 5m excavation in sand with groundwater at 2m?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a 5m excavation in sand with groundwater at 2m, a Sheet Pile support is recommended due to the water presence.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the strut spacing for a 10m excavation using Soldier Piles with a 50kPa surcharge.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required strut spacing for this configuration is 3.5 meters.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Will a 4m embedment depth be stable for a 6m excavation in clay?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, a 4m embedment depth is insufficient; the stability analysis indicates a higher embedment is required to maintain a positive safety factor.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I choose between Soldier Pile and Sheet Pile?**
You can use the `analyze_support_feasibility` tool to evaluate soil type and groundwater levels to determine the best support method.

**Can I simulate the entire excavation process?**
Yes, the `simulate_staged_excavation` tool allows you to model the support system's performance across multiple stages of soil removal.

**How is wall deflection calculated?**
Wall deflection is calculated using the `calculate_wall_stability` tool, which considers excavation depth, embedment, soil properties, and groundwater levels.
