Column Sizing Estimator MCP Connector for Claude
A+Preliminary sizing for reinforced concrete and steel columns based on vertical load accumulation.
The Column Sizing Estimator is a structural engineering utility designed for the early design phase of building projects. It allows engineers and architects to perform rapid pre-dimensioning of vertical supports by calculating cumulative axial loads and suggesting initial cross-sections for both reinforced concrete and steel profiles.
With this MCP server, AI agents can use calculate_total_axial_load to determine the total weight pressing down on a foundation based on floor count and tributary area. The toolset also includes estimate_concrete_section for determining square concrete dimensions, estimate_steel_pattern (via estimate_steel_section) for selecting standard HEB profiles, and check_load_severity to categorize projects into residential, commercial, or industrial tiers.
