## Description

This MCP server provides specialized geotechnical engineering tools for liquid storage tank design. It allows AI agents to determine the most suitable foundation configuration using `get_foundation_type`, predict vertical movement with `calculate_settlement`, verify soil stability via `verify_bearing_capacity`, and evaluate earthquake impact with `assess_seismic_risk`.

## Tools

### assess_seismic_risk
Evaluates the impact of seismic activity on the tank foundation stability

### calculate_settlement
Predicts the total expected settlement of the tank under its operating weight

### get_foundation_type
Determines the most suitable foundation configuration based on tank and soil constraints

### verify_bearing_capacity
Checks if the soil can safely support the tank's total weight

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What foundation type is best for a 20m diameter tank in a high seismic zone with clay soil?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on the high seismic zone and clay soil, a pile foundation is recommended to ensure stability and mitigate settlement risks.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if the soil can support a tank with a 15m diameter and 10m height.
```

**Response:** 
```
The soil capacity is sufficient with a factor of safety of 2.5, resulting in a 'Pass' status.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the expected settlement for this tank design?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total predicted settlement is 12mm, which is within the acceptable engineering limits.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I determine the best foundation type?**
You can use the `get_foundation_type` tool, which analyzes tank dimensions, soil bearing capacity, soil type, and seismic zone to recommend a ringwall, slab, or pile foundation.

**Can this tool help with seismic stability?**
Yes, the `assess_seismic_risk` tool evaluates how seismic activity impacts foundation stability and provides required mitigation steps.

**How is soil settlement calculated?**
The `calculate_settlement` tool predicts both immediate and consolidation settlement based on tank load, soil compressibility, and ground water depth.
