This MCP server provides engineering tools to calculate lateral pressure exerted by fresh concrete against formwork. It accounts for placement rates, concrete temperature, and vibration methods to ensure structural safety. Use calculate_max_pressure to find peak loads, get_pressure_distribution for vertical profiles, calculate_tie_spacing for reinforcement planning, and analyze_mix_impact to simulate how temperature or retarders change the pressure profile.

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

analyze_mix_impact

Evaluates how changing specific variables (like temperature or retarders) affects the pressure

calculate_max_pressure

Determines the peak lateral pressure exerted at the most critical point of the formwork

calculate_tie_spacing

Determines the maximum allowable distance between formwork ties to prevent structural failure

get_pressure_distribution

Provides a vertical profile of pressure at different depths to help engineers plan reinforcement

What is the maximum pressure for a 5m pour at 2m/h with StandardMix and internal vibration?

The maximum lateral pressure is 45.2 kPa, occurring at a critical height of 2.1 meters.

Show me the pressure distribution for a 3m pour with HighDensityMix.

The pressure profile shows a peak of 38.5 kPa at the base, decreasing to 12.2 kPa at the 3m mark.

How much will the pressure increase if I use retarders in my mix?

Using retarders will increase the maximum pressure by 12.5% for this specific configuration.

A higher placement rate increases the time concrete behaves like a fluid, leading to higher peak pressure. You can use `calculate_max_pressure` to see how this affects your specific pour.
