## Description

This MCP server provides specialized geotechnical engineering tools for micropile design. It allows AI agents to calculate critical foundation parameters including the required bond length using `calculate_required_bond_length`, determine structural steel dimensions with `size_steel_reinforcement`, estimate grout requirements via `calculate_grout_volume`, and verify material suitability with `validate_soil_compatibility`. It is designed to bridge the gap between structural requirements and geotechnical realities.

## Tools

### calculate_grout_volume
Estimates the total amount of grout needed for the installation

### calculate_required_bond_length
Determines the depth of the bond zone needed to support the design load

### size_steel_reinforcement
Determines the necessary dimensions of the steel element to handle the axial load and corrosion requirements

### validate_soil_compatibility
Checks if the proposed grout strength and borehole diameter are compatible with the soil/rock type

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the required bond length for a 500kN load with a bond stress of 150kPa and a 200mm drill hole diameter, assuming it is not cased.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required bond length is 15.92 meters, providing a design bond capacity of 500.01 kN.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much grout is needed for a 10 meter deep hole with a 250mm diameter, if no casing is used?
```

**Response:** 
```
The estimated grout volume is 490.87 liters.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Size the steel reinforcement for a 1000kN load with a yield strength of 400MPa and a safety factor of 2.0.
```

**Response:** 
```
The minimum required steel diameter is 56.42 mm, providing a cross-sectional area of 2499.15 mm².
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the necessary bond length?**
You can use the `calculate_required_bond_length` tool by providing the design load, bond stress, drill hole diameter, and whether a casing is used.

**Can I account for corrosion in the steel sizing?**
Yes, the `size_steel_reinforcement` tool includes an optional parameter for corrosion allowance to ensure structural integrity over time.

**Does this tool support different soil types?**
Yes, the `validate_soil_compatibility` tool checks if your grout strength and borehole diameter are appropriate for specific materials like sand, clay, or rock.
