## Description

This MCP server provides specialized geotechnical engineering tools to design ground improvement strategies. It allows engineers to calculate technical parameters for various methods such as `calculate_stone_column_design` for cohesive soils, `calculate_vibro_compaction_design` for granular soils, and `calculate_grouting_design` for injection-based improvements. You can also use `validate_improvement_feasibility` to determine the most appropriate method based on soil properties like cohesion, permeability, and bearing capacity requirements.

## Tools

### calculate_grouting_design
Determines the injection parameters for cementitious or chemical grouting

### calculate_stone_column_design
Determines technical parameters for improving soft cohesive soils using stone columns

### calculate_vibro_compaction_design
Determines the design for densifying granular soils via vibration

### validate_improvement_feasibility
Provides a high-level check to see if a specific method is appropriate

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Is vibro-compaction suitable for a cohesive soil with a required bearing capacity of 200 kPa?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, vibro-compaction is intended for granular soils. For cohesive soils, stone columns or grouting would be more appropriate.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the design for stone columns in a soil with 30 kPa cohesion, 25 degree friction angle, and 100 kPa modulus, needing 250 kPa bearing capacity and 25 mm settlement limit with a 0.2 replacement ratio.
```

**Response:** 
```
The stone column design requires an improvement depth of 8.5m and a column spacing of 1.8m to meet the target replacement ratio and bearing capacity requirements.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the injection parameters for grouting in soil with 1e-5 m/s permeability?
```

**Response:** 
```
The grouting design requires an injection spacing of 1.2m and a replacement ratio of 0.05 to achieve the required soil stiffness.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What soil types can I design for?**
The tools support both cohesive and granular soils. You can use `validate_improvement_feasibility` to check which method is best for your specific soil type.

**How do I calculate stone column spacing?**
Use the `calculate_stone_column_design` tool. Provide the soil cohesion, friction angle, modulus, required bearing capacity, settlement limit, and your target replacement ratio.

**Can I use this for vibro-compaction design?**
Yes, the `calculate_vibro_compaction_design` tool is specifically designed to determine parameters for densifying granular soils via vibration.
