## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for rock mechanics and slope stability analysis. It allows AI agents to evaluate the risk of different failure modes using stereonet principles. Use `analyze_planar_failure` to check for sliding along a single plane, `analyze_wedge_failure` to evaluate the intersection of two discontinuities, and `analyze_toppling_failure` to assess rotational instability. Finally, use `get_slope_recommendations` to receive engineering mitigation strategies based on the identified risks.

## Tools

### analyze_planar_failure
Determines if a single discontinuity is prone to sliding along its plane

### get_slope_recommendations
Provides engineering guidance based on the results of previous kinematic analyses

### analyze_toppling_failure
Evaluates the risk of blocks rotating out of the slope due to steep, near-vertical discontinuities

### analyze_wedge_failure
Identifies potential instability caused by the intersection of two discontinuity planes

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if a slope with a 45 degree dip and 180 degree direction is prone to planar failure with a joint dipping at 30 degrees in the 180 direction and a 25 degree friction angle.
```

**Response:** 
```
The analysis shows that the slope is prone to planar failure because the joint dips in the same direction as the slope, the joint dip is less than the slope dip, and it is greater than the friction angle.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Analyze a wedge failure for a slope dipping 50 degrees at 90 degrees, with two joints: one at 30 degrees/45 degrees and another at 35 degrees/135 degrees, with a 20 degree friction angle.
```

**Response:** 
```
The wedge failure analysis indicates that the intersection line daylights in the slope and its plunge exceeds the friction angle, making it prone to instability.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the recommendations for a slope facing planar and wedge failures with a 30 degree friction angle?
```

**Response:** 
```
For the identified planar and wedge failures, the suggested mitigation is to use bolting or anchoring to stabilize the rock mass.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What failure modes can be analyzed?**
The server can analyze planar, wedge, and toppling failure modes using `analyze_planar_failure`, `analyze_wedge_failure`, and `analyze_toppling_failure`.

**How do I get mitigation advice?**
After identifying failure modes, pass them to the `get_slope_recommendations` tool to receive specific engineering guidance.

**What inputs are required for analysis?**
Tools require slope dip, slope dip direction, discontinuity dip/direction, and the friction angle of the rock.
