## Description

This MCP server provides specialized geotechnical engineering tools to evaluate the stability of open-pit mine slopes. It uses limit equilibrium methods like Bishop, Janbu, and Spencer to calculate the Factor of Safety (FoS). Engineers can use `analyze_slope_stability` to determine stability based on pit geometry and rock mass properties, `identify_critical_surface` to find likely failure paths, `evaluate_pore_pressure_impact` to quantify water-induced instability, and `generate_design_recommendations` to receive specific mitigation guidance.

## Tools

### analyze_slope_stability
Calculates the primary Factor of Safety (FoS) for a given slope configuration

### evaluate_pore_pressure_impact
Quantifies how water presence reduces the stability of the design

### generate_design_recommendations
Provides engineering guidance based on calculated stability metrics

### identify_critical_surface
Finds the most likely failure path for a specific slope

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the stability for a pit with 50m height, 45 degree slope, and 10m crest width using the Bishop method.
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated Factor of Safety (FoS) for this configuration is 1.45, which is considered an acceptable stability level.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the impact of a water table at 20m height on my current slope stability?
```

**Response:** 
```
The presence of water at a 20m height reduces the Factor of Safety from 1.50 to 1.15, a reduction of 23.3%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
The current FoS is 1.05 and the required is 1.3 for a planar failure. What should I do?
```

**Response:** 
```
To reach the required safety margin, it is recommended to implement slope flattening or install drainage to reduce pore pressure.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Which limit equilibrium methods are supported?**
The server supports Bishop, Janbu, and Spencer methods via the `analyze_slope_stability` tool.

**How does the tool handle groundwater?**
You can use `evaluate_pore_pressure_impact` to see how the water table height reduces the Factor of Safety, or include pore pressure ratios in the stability analysis.

**Can I get mitigation advice?**
Yes, the `generate_design_recommendations` tool provides specific engineering guidance like slope flattening or drainage installation based on your calculated FoS.
