## Description

This MCP server provides structural engineering calculations for scaffolding configurations. It allows AI agents to determine the maximum safe load per square meter using `get_safe_working_load`, identify necessary diagonal patterns with `calculate_bracing_requirements`, find maximum tie spacing via `determine_tie_spacing`, and evaluate overturning risks with `check_stability_limits`.

## Tools

### calculate_bracing_requirements
Identifies the necessary diagonal bracing pattern required to maintain lateral stability

### check_stability_limits
Evaluates if the current configuration is at risk of overturning or structural failure

### determine_tie_spacing
Calculates the maximum allowable distance between wall ties to ensure the scaffold does not tip

### get_safe_working_load
Determines the maximum allowable pressure per square meter the scaffold can safely carry

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the safe working load for a Supported scaffold that is 5m high, has a 2m bay length, and 10kN leg capacity?
```

**Response:** 
```
The maximum safe load for this configuration is 2.5 kN/m².
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the tie spacing for a 10m high Supported scaffold with a wind load of 0.5 kN/m².
```

**Response:** 
```
The maximum horizontal tie spacing is 4.0m and the vertical spacing is 4.5m.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a Mobile scaffold with 4m height and 5kN leg capacity stable under 0.8 kN/m² wind load?
```

**Response:** 
```
The configuration is stable with a safety factor of 1.8.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the safe working load?**
You can use the `get_safe_working_load` tool by providing the scaffold type, height, bay length, and leg load capacity.

**Can this tool check if my scaffold is stable?**
Yes, the `check_stability_limits` tool evaluates the safety factor and potential failure modes like overturning.

**What scaffold types are supported?**
The server supports Supported, Suspended, and Mobile scaffold types.
