How does this tool handle bundled bars?

The tool uses ACI provisions to calculate how bundled bars behave as a single unit, specifically adjusting for effective diameter and reduced bond strength.

Can I check for concrete congestion?

Yes, you can use `evaluate_congestion_index` to quantify how crowded a section is and receive risk recommendations.

What is the purpose of the development length modifier?

It computes the adjustment factor needed for development length to account for the reduced bond efficiency in bundled configurations.

This MCP server provides structural engineering tools to analyze bundled reinforcement bars according to ACI standards. It calculates effective diameters, determines development length modification factors, and validates clear spacing to prevent concrete honeycombing. Engineers can use check_bundle_compliance to verify configuration safety, calculate_development_length_modifier for bond efficiency, validate_spacing_requirements for aggregate flow, and evaluate_congestion_index to assess reinforcement density.
