This MCP server provides structural engineering tools to design steel column base plates. It reconciles concentrated column loads with concrete bearing capacity following AISC procedures. Use design_base_plate to determine required plate geometry and thickness, validate_anchor_layout to check stability against moments, calculate_bearing_capacity for concrete limits, and get_bolt_specifications for recommended anchor bolt sizes and embedment depths.

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

design_base_plate

Performs the primary structural calculation to determine the required geometry of the base plate

get_bolt_specifications

Recommends standard anchor bolt sizes and embedment depths based on calculated tension requirements

validate_anchor_layout

Checks if a specific anchor bolt configuration can effectively resist the tension caused by the applied moment

calculate_bearing_capacity

Determines the maximum allowable axial load the concrete can support given the base plate area

Design a base plate for a column with 500kN axial load and 50kNm moment, column size 300x300mm, concrete strength 30MPa, and a square bolt pattern.

The required base plate dimensions are 550mm x 550mm with a thickness of 25mm. The recommended anchor bolt diameter is 24mm.

What is the maximum axial load for a 400x400mm plate on 25MPa concrete?

The maximum allowable axial load for a 400mm x 400mm plate on 25MPa concrete is 1250kN.

Will 20mm bolts spaced 150mm apart handle a 30kNm moment?

No, the current anchor bolt configuration is unstable for a 30kNm moment; increasing spacing or bolt diameter is required.

The calculations follow the AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) standards for base plate design.
