## Description

This MCP server provides essential tools for mining and civil engineering professionals to quantify rock mass mechanical quality. It implements industry-standard classification systems including RMR, the Q-system, and the Geological Strength Index (GSI). Engineers can use `get_rmr_classification` to determine support needs, `get_q_index` for tunnel-specific design, and `get_gsi_properties` to estimate strength reduction. Additionally, `analyze_structural_domain` evaluates stability risks caused by anisotropy and joint orientation within specific geological zones.

## Tools

### analyze_structural_domain
Evaluates how anisotropy and orientation impact the overall stability of a specific structural domain

### get_gsi_properties
Estimates rock mass strength characteristics using the Geological Strength Index

### get_q_index
Calculates the Q-system Quality Index for tunnel-specific support design

### get_rmr_classification
Calculates the Rock Mass Rating (RMR) to determine rock mass quality and basic support needs

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the RMR for a rock mass with high strength, 75% RQD, 200mm joint spacing, very rough joints, and completely dry conditions with no orientation penalty.
```

**Response:** 
```
The Rock Mass Rating (RMR) is 72, which falls into the 'Good Rock' quality class.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the Q-index if RQD is 60, there are 3 joint sets, joint alteration is 1, and the stress reduction factor is 2.5?
```

**Response:** 
```
The Q-system Quality Index is 4.8, suggesting a specific excavation support category.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Estimate the strength reduction for a massive rock structure with unweathered joint surfaces using GSI.
```

**Response:** 
```
The GSI score is 90, resulting in a very low estimated strength reduction factor.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What classification systems are supported?**
The server supports Rock Mass Rating (RMR), the Q-system (Quality Index), and the Geological Strength Index (GSI).

**Can I analyze specific geological zones?**
Yes, you can use `analyze_structural_domain` to evaluate stability risks and anisotropy impacts for a specific domain ID.

**How is the RMR calculated?**
The `get_rmr_classification` tool calculates the score based on rock strength, RQD, joint spacing, condition, groundwater, and orientation adjustments.
