Concrete Deflection Calculator

Concrete Deflection Calculator MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculate immediate, long-term, and total deflection for reinforced concrete members using ACI standards.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides structural engineering tools to analyze reinforced concrete beam deflections. It calculates immediate elastic deflection, time-dependent effects like creep and shrinkage, and the final cumulative deflection. Use get_section_stiffness_analysis to determine if a section is cracked, and get_immediate_deflection to find the initial movement under load. It is designed for engineers following ACI methodologies to ensure serviceability compliance.

get_long_term_deflection

Calculates the additional deflection caused by time-dependent effects (creep and shrinkage)

get_section_stiffness_analysis

Provides a diagnostic analysis of the beam's resistance to bending

get_total_deflection

Calculates the cumulative deflection (immediate + long-term)

get_immediate_deflection

Calculates the initial deflection caused by a specific load

Calculate the immediate deflection for a beam with a 5m span, 10kN/m load, 300mm width, 500mm height, 450mm effective depth, 30MPa concrete, and 0.01 reinforcement ratio.

The immediate deflection for the specified beam is 12.45 mm.

What is the total deflection if the immediate deflection is 10mm and the long-term deflection is 5mm?

The total deflection is 15.0 mm.

Analyze the stiffness of a section with 300mm width, 500mm height, 450mm effective depth, 30MPa concrete, and 0.01 reinforcement ratio.

The section is Cracked. Gross Moment of Inertia: 1.875e10 mm4, Cracked Moment of Inertia: 8.42e9 mm4.

The tool uses `get_section_stiffness_analysis` to identify the cracking status and calculates the cracked moment of inertia to ensure deflection values reflect the reduced stiffness of the concrete section.
