How do I check if my column is safe?

Use the `analyze_section_capacity` tool. It will return a capacity ratio; if the ratio is 1.0 or less, the column is safe.

Does this tool account for slenderness?

Yes, you can use `check_slenderness_effects` to calculate the moment magnification factor for slender columns.

Can I get a physical layout for the steel bars?

Yes, once you have the required steel area, use `generate_reinforcement_layout` to get the bar count and spacing.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides structural engineering tools to design concrete columns subjected to biaxial bending. It uses the interaction diagram method to determine if a section is safe under combined axial loads and moments (Mx and My). Users can analyze_section_capacity to check safety ratios, calculate_required_reinforcement to find the minimum steel area, generate_reinforcement_layout for physical bar arrangements, and check_slenderness_effects to account for second-order moments in slender columns.
