Concrete Crack Control

Concrete Crack Control MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Design reinforcement spacing and ratios to prevent concrete cracking.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides structural engineering tools to manage concrete durability. It allows agents to calculate the maximum allowable bar spacing using calculate_max_bar_spacing, determine the necessary reinforcement ratio with calculate_reinforcement_ratio, and predict crack widths via estimate_crack_width. By accounting for exposure classes like MARINE_SEA_SPRAY or DEICING_SALTS, it ensures reinforcement designs meet strict durability requirements.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

estimate_crack_width

Predicts the actual width of a crack produced by a specific reinforcement configuration

get_exposure_constraints

Retrieves the standard crack width limits and safety factors associated with a specific environmental exposure class

calculate_max_bar_spacing

Determines the largest possible distance between reinforcement bars to satisfy a specific crack width constraint

calculate_reinforcement_ratio

Calculates the minimum percentage of steel area required relative to the concrete area to prevent exceeding crack limits

What is the maximum bar spacing for a 20mm bar with 30mm cover and 250MPa stress in a marine environment with a 0.3mm crack limit?

The maximum allowable bar spacing for this configuration is 185.5 mm.

Calculate the reinforcement ratio for 15mm bars, 40mm cover, 300MPa stress, and a 0.2mm crack limit in a de-icing salt environment.

The required reinforcement ratio is 0.0125.

Estimate the crack width for 12mm bars spaced at 150mm with 35mm cover and 280MPa stress in an urban dry environment.

The estimated crack width is 0.14 mm.

Use the `calculate_max_bar_spacing` tool. You will need to provide the concrete cover, bar diameter, steel stress, crack width limit, and the exposure class.
