4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for post-tensioning design in concrete slabs using the Load Balancing Method. It allows AI agents to perform complex structural calculations, including determining the calculate_jacking_force to account for friction and anchorage losses, calculating determine_tendon_geometry for spacing and area, predicting calculate_elongation for field verification, and performing verify_design_safety to ensure compatibility with concrete strength.

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

calculate_elongation

Predicts the physical stretch of the tendon to allow for field verification

verify_design_safety

Validates if the calculated post-tensioning requirements are compatible with the concrete strength

calculate_jacking_force

Determines the total initial force required to overcome losses and achieve the target balancing force

determine_tendon_geometry

Calculates the physical dimensions and placement of the tendons within the slab

Calculate the jacking force for a 10m span slab, 250mm thick, with 15 kN/m² load and 30 MPa concrete using a parabolic profile.

The required jacking force is 450.5 kN with an effective force of 425.2 kN after accounting for losses.

What is the expected elongation for a tendon with 500 kN jacking force, 150 mm² area, and 12m length with a modulus of 200000 MPa?

The predicted elongation for the tendon is 45.0 mm.

Check if a design with 35 MPa concrete, 400 kN jacking force, and 200mm slab thickness is safe.

The design is safe with a reserve capacity of 12.5 MPa.

It is a design approach where the tendon profile is shaped to create upward pressure that offsets a portion of the downward gravity loads.
