Design reinforced concrete members for torsion using ACI provisions.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides structural engineering tools to design reinforced concrete members subjected to torsional loads. It follows ACI provisions to manage the interaction between shear and torsion. Users can determine required reinforcement using calculate_torsion_reinforcement, evaluate remaining shear capacity with evaluate_shear_capacity, identify torsion types via check_torsion_type, and verify section adequacy with validate_section_geometry to prevent web crushing.

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

calculate_torsion_reinforcement

Determines the required amount of closed stirrups and longitudinal steel for a given torsional load

check_torsion_type

Analyzes if the provided loading scenario qualifies as equilibrium or compatibility torsion

evaluate_shear_capacity

Calculates the remaining shear capacity of a member after accounting for the presence of torsion

validate_section_geometry

Verifies if the concrete section dimensions are sufficient to prevent web crushing under the specified torsion and shear

Calculate the reinforcement needed for a 300x500mm section with 10 kNm torsion and 50 kN shear (concrete 30 MPa, steel 400 MPa, equilibrium).

The required stirrup area is 125 mm² and the total longitudinal steel area is 210 mm².

Is a 200x200mm section adequate for 15 kNm torsion and 40 kN shear with 25 MPa concrete?

No, the section geometry is inadequate and exceeds the crushing threshold.

What is the remaining shear capacity for a 400x400mm section with 5 kNm torsion and 100 kN shear?

The available shear capacity is 145 kN with a utilization ratio of 0.68.

The `check_torsion_type` tool identifies the category. If the system is statically determinate, it is treated as Equilibrium torsion, requiring full reinforcement resistance.
