Foundation Settlement Calculator

Foundation Settlement Calculator MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculate immediate, consolidation, and total soil settlement for foundation engineering.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized geotechnical engineering tools to estimate ground movement. Use get_immediate_settlement to find instantaneous elastic deformation, get_consolidation_settlement for volume changes in cohesive soils like clay or silt, and get_time_dependent_settlement to track settlement progress over time. Finally, use get_total_settlement to combine these values for a complete settlement profile.

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

get_immediate_settlement

Calculates the instantaneous elastic deformation of the soil under a given load

get_time_dependent_settlement

Estimates the settlement occurring at a specific point in time due to the ongoing consolidation process

get_total_settlement

Provides the combined settlement (Immediate + Consolidation) to determine the total expected movement

get_consolidation_settlement

Calculates the volume change settlement resulting from pore water dissipation in cohesive soils

Calculate the immediate settlement for a 5m x 5m foundation with a 1000kN load and a soil modulus of 20MPa.

The immediate settlement is 12.5 mm.

What is the consolidation settlement for a 10m thick clay layer under a 500kN load with a 5m x 5m foundation?

The consolidation settlement for the clay layer is 25.0 mm.

If the total consolidation settlement is 30mm, what is the current settlement after 2 years with a consolidation coefficient of 0.1?

The current settlement is 15.0 mm and the remaining settlement is 15.0 mm.

Immediate settlement is the instantaneous elastic response of the soil, while consolidation settlement is the time-dependent volume change caused by pore water dissipation in cohesive soils.
