## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing shotcrete mixtures used in tunnel support, mining, and slope stabilization. It allows AI agents to calculate core material volumes using `calculate_mix_proportions`, determine reinforcement needs with `calculate_fiber_dosage`, and manage chemical additives via `calculate_accelerator_dosage`. Additionally, it helps account for material waste by using `estimate_rebound_loss` to adjust total volumes based on application methods like wet or dry mix.

## Tools

### calculate_accelerator_dosage
Calculate the chemical accelerator requirement based on the application method and environmental factors

### calculate_mix_proportions
Determine core material volumes required for a specific shotcrete application

### calculate_fiber_dosage
Determine the amount of reinforcement fibers needed to meet ductility requirements

### estimate_rebound_loss
Calculate the extra material required to account for waste during spraying

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the mix proportions for a wet-mix shotcrete with a required strength of 35 MPa using sand and gravel.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required mix proportions are: cement content: 420 kg/m³, water content: 185 kg/m³, aggregate content: 1550 kg/m³, for a total volume of 1.0 m³.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the fiber dosage for a synthetic fiber reinforcement with a target ductility of 5.0?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required fiber dosage is 5.5 kg/m³, resulting in a fiber volume fraction of 0.008.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Estimate the rebound loss for a dry-mix application using high-precision nozzle technique.
```

**Response:** 
```
The estimated rebound is 12% with a volume multiplier of 1.136.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the cement and water requirements?**
Use the `calculate_mix_proportions` tool, providing the required strength in MPa, the application method (wet or dry), and the available aggregate types.

**Can I account for material waste during spraying?**
Yes, use `estimate_rebound_loss` to determine the rebound percentage and volume multiplier based on your application method and nozzle technique.

**How do I determine the amount of fiber reinforcement needed?**
You can use `calculate_fiber_dosage` by specifying the target ductility and the type of fiber, such as steel or synthetic.
