## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing secant pile retaining walls. It allows for precise calculation of pile spacing using `calculate_wall_geometry`, determination of lateral earth and hydrostatic pressures via `analyze_soil_pressure`, calculation of required stability depth with `determine_embedment_depth`, and steel reinforcement design through `design_structural_reinforcement`. It supports both hard-soft and hard-hard pile configurations to ensure geotechnical stability and structural integrity.

## Tools

### calculate_wall_geometry
Determines the physical arrangement and spacing of the piles based on diameter and overlap

### design_structural_reinforcement
Determines the necessary steel reinforcement to provide the required structural capacity

### determine_embedment_depth
Calculates the required depth of the piles below the excavation level to ensure geotechnical stability

### analyze_soil_pressure
Calculates the lateral earth pressures acting on the wall profile

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```

```

**Response:** 
```
The center-to-center spacing for the piles is 510mm.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the total lateral pressure for a 5m wall with a soil unit weight of 18 kN/m3, cohesion of 5 kPa, friction angle of 30 degrees, and a 2m water head?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total lateral pressure is 112.5 kPa.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Determine the reinforcement needed for a 600mm pile with a 150 kNm bending moment and 30 MPa concrete strength in a hard-soft setup.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required steel area is 1250 mm2, with a suggested rebar diameter of 25mm.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What configurations are supported?**
The tool supports both hard-soft (Type A/B) and hard-hard (Type C) pile configurations.

**How do I calculate the required depth for stability?**
You can use the `determine_embedment_depth` tool by providing the wall height, soil properties, and water head.

**Can I design reinforcement for specific bending moments?**
Yes, the `design_structural_reinforcement` tool calculates the required steel area and suggested rebar diameter based on the bending moment and concrete strength.
