## Description

This MCP server provides critical engineering calculations for structural concrete management. It connects AI agents to specialized tools for determining the minimum number of days required before formwork can be safely removed using `calculate_striking_time`. It also provides logical support removal sequences via `get_reshoring_sequence`, performs safety audits with `perform_safety_audit`, and evaluates structural weight movement using `analyze_load_transfer`. This ensures structural integrity during the transition from formwork to self-supporting concrete.

### Available Tools

`calculate_striking_time_tool`, `get_reshoring_sequence_tool`, `perform_safety_audit_tool`, `analyze_load_transfer_tool`

## Tools

### analyze_load_transfer_tool
Evaluates how the weight of the structure will move from the formwork to the concrete

### calculate_striking_time_tool
Determines the minimum number of days required before formwork can be safely removed

### perform_safety_audit_tool
Validates if the current stripping plan meets all engineering safety constraints

### get_reshoring_sequence_tool
Provides a logical order for the removal of temporary supports (props) to prevent overloading

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
When can I safely remove the formwork for a slab that needs 80% strength, currently at 15 MPa, at 22 degrees Celsius using moist curing?
```

**Response:** 
```
The minimum stripping time is 5 days, with an estimated strength of 22.4 MPa at the time of removal.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Give me the removal order for 10 props on a beam on day 4 of curing.
```

**Response:** 
```
The removal order is: remove props 1-3, then 4-6, then 7-8. 2 props must remain in place.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is it safe to strip a column with 25 MPa strength if the design strength is 30 MPa and reshoring is active?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, the stripping plan does not meet safety standards. Violation: current strength is below the critical threshold for this element type. Recommended action: Hold stripping.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does temperature affect the stripping time?**
Higher temperatures accelerate the chemical hydration process, which reduces the number of days required before the concrete reaches the necessary strength for safe removal. Tools available: `calculate_striking_time_tool`, `get_reshoring_sequence_tool`, `perform_safety_audit_tool`.

**Can I use this to manage my props?**
Yes, you can use the `get_reshoring_sequence` tool to receive a step-by-step list of which props to remove to prevent overloading the structure.

**What happens if the safety audit fails?**
If `perform_safety_audit` returns a failure, it will provide specific violations and a recommended action, such as holding the stripping process or resuming curing.
