## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing and analyzing soil nail walls in excavations. It allows users to calculate required nail diameters using `get_nail_diameter`, determine nail capacity with `calculate_nail_capacity`, find necessary nail depths via `get_required_nail_length`, and evaluate the overall safety of the excavation using `analyze_global_stability`. It accounts for critical factors like soil properties, surcharge loads, and groundwater levels to ensure structural integrity.

## Tools

### analyze_global_stability
Evaluates if the entire excavation is safe from catastrophic failure

### get_nail_diameter
Calculates the required diameter of the steel nail to meet capacity requirements

### calculate_nail_capacity
Determines how much force a specific nail can resist based on its dimensions and soil environment

### get_required_nail_length
Determines the necessary depth of the nails to ensure the reinforced zone is sufficient

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the required nail diameter for a 5m wall with 50kN capacity and 20kPa cohesion?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required nail diameter is 18.5 mm.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the capacity of a nail that is 25mm in diameter, 6m long, with a soil bond strength of 50kPa.
```

**Response:** 
```
The nail capacity is 23.56 kN.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a 10m wall stable with a 30-degree friction angle and 15m nail length?
```

**Response:** 
```
The global stability factor is 1.45, which indicates the design is stable.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What can I calculate with this tool?**
You can calculate nail diameter, nail capacity, required nail length, and the global stability factor for soil nail wall designs.

**How does groundwater affect the stability analysis?**
Groundwater increases pore water pressure, which can reduce the stability of the soil mass. The `analyze_global_stability` tool accounts for this when a groundwater level is provided.

**Can I include surcharge loads in my design?**
Yes, both `get_required_nail_length` and `analyze_global_stability` allow you to include a surcharge load to account for additional weight on the surface.
