How do I check if my aggregate will fit between the bars?

You can use the `check_aggregate_passage` tool by providing the bar sizes, section dimensions, and the maximum aggregate diameter.

Can this tool help prevent concrete honeycombing?

Yes, by using `get_congestion_score` and `evaluate_vibration_access`, you can identify if the reinforcement is too crowded for proper concrete consolidation.

What information is needed for the spacing calculation?

To use `calculate_clear_spacing`, you need the array of bar diameters, the number of layers, the section width and height, and the clear cover.

This MCP server provides structural engineering tools to evaluate reinforcement density in concrete sections. It allows AI agents to verify if rebar spacing is sufficient for aggregate passage, ensure mechanical vibrators can access the cage, and calculate a congestion score to prevent honeycombing. Use calculate_clear_spacing to find physical gaps, check_aggregate_passage to verify aggregate flow, evaluate_vibration_access for tool clearance, and get_congestion_score for a density assessment.
