## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools to optimize foundation pile layouts. It calculates the required number of piles using `calculate_pile_quantity`, determines optimal coordinates via `optimize_pile_positions`, designs the concrete pile cap with `design_pile_cap`, and evaluates force distribution using `analyze_load_distribution`. It ensures structural integrity by respecting pile spacing, foundation area, and eccentricity limits.

## Tools

### analyze_load_distribution
Calculates how much force is actually transferred to each individual pile in the optimized layout

### calculate_pile_quantity
Determines the minimum number of piles required to support the total applied load

### design_pile_cap
Determines the physical dimensions of the concrete pile cap

### optimize_pile_positions
Calculates the optimal (x, y) coordinates for each pile within the foundation area

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How many piles do I need for a total load of 5000kN if each pile can hold 500kN?
```

**Response:** 
```
You will need 10 piles to support the 5000kN load.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the pile cap dimensions for 4 piles located at (0,0), (2,0), (0,2), and (2,2) with a minimum spacing of 2m.
```

**Response:** 
```
The pile cap dimensions are 2.5m by 2.5m with a depth of 0.5m.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the optimal position for piles given a 100m2 area and 500kN capacity?
```

**Response:** 
```
The piles should be positioned at the following coordinates to minimize eccentricity: (1,1), (1,3), (3,1), and (3,3).
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I determine the number of piles needed?**
You can use the `calculate_pile_quantity` tool by providing the column loads and the capacity of each pile.

**Can this tool help with pile cap design?**
Yes, the `design_pile_cap` tool calculates the necessary width, length, and depth for the concrete pile cap based on your pile positions.

**How is the load distributed among piles?**
The `analyze_load_distribution` tool calculates the specific force transferred to each pile, accounting for eccentricity and total vertical load.
