## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for ground anchor design. Use `get_ultimate_capacity` to determine the maximum theoretical load and safe design capacity based on soil type and grout strength. You can also use `calculate_bond_length` to find the required embedded length for a specific target load, or `get_anchor_geometry` to split the anchor into bonded and free stressing segments. It also includes `get_testing_requirements` to ensure compliance with regional safety standards for proof and performance tests.

## Tools

### get_anchor_geometry
Splits the total anchor length into the functional bonded and free segments

### get_testing_requirements
Determines the necessary test loads for quality assurance according to regional standards

### get_ultimate_capacity
Calculates the maximum theoretical load the anchor can support

### calculate_bond_length
Determines the required length of the anchor that must be bonded to the ground to meet a target capacity

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the ultimate capacity for a 15m anchor with a 150mm borehole in dense sand using 30MPa grout and a 25mm tendon?
```

**Response:** 
```
The ultimate capacity for this configuration is 450 kN, with a safe design capacity of 300 kN.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much bond length do I need for a 500 kN capacity in hard limestone with a 200mm borehole and 35MPa grout?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required bond length for a 500 kN target capacity is 4.2 meters.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the geometry for a 20m anchor with a 5m bond length.
```

**Response:** 
```
The anchor consists of a 5.0 meter bonded segment and a 15.0 meter free stressing length.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the maximum load for a specific soil type?**
You can use the `get_ultimate_capacity` tool. Provide the anchor length, drill hole diameter, soil/rock type, grout strength, and tendon size to get the results.

**Can I determine the required bond length for a target load?**
Yes, use the `calculate_bond_length` tool by providing the target capacity, borehole diameter, soil type, and grout strength.

**What testing loads are required for quality assurance?**
The `get_testing_requirements` tool provides the necessary test loads and durations for both proof tests and performance tests based on your design capacity.
