Calculate optimal rock bolt patterns and shotcrete thickness for underground excavations.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized geotechnical engineering tools for underground excavation design. It allows AI agents to determine reinforcement requirements by calculating calculate_bolt_pattern for rock bolts and calculate_shotcrete_requirement for surface support. Users can also use evaluate_stability_safety_factor to verify if a proposed design meets safety standards based on rock mass quality and stress ratios. Finally, get_design_summary aggregates all technical specifications into a single work order.

Calculate the bolt pattern for a 5-meter wide excavation in 'Fair' rock with a stress ratio of 1.5.

The required reinforcement is a Resin Bolt with a length of 3.5 meters and a spacing of 1.2 meters.

What is the required shotcrete thickness for a 4-meter wide tunnel in 'Poor' rock with a stress ratio of 2.0?

The required shotcrete thickness is 0.15 meters.

Is a design with 1.5m bolt spacing and 0.1m shotcrete safe for a 6m wide excavation in 'Good' rock with a stress ratio of 1.0?

Yes, the design is stable with a safety factor of 1.8.

To use `calculate_bolt_pattern`, you need to provide the rock mass quality, the stress ratio, and the excavation width in meters.
