This MCP server provides structural engineering tools to design column splice connections. Use design_bearing_splice to calculate requirements for axial compression loads, or design_moment_splice for connections handling both axial loads and bending moments. You can also use validate_connection_capacity to verify if existing plates, bolts, and welds meet specific load requirements, or get_steel_properties to retrieve material constants for various steel grades.

Design a bearing splice for an axial load of 500 kN on a column with a 200mm flange width and 300mm depth using S355 steel.

The required splice plate width is 220mm with a thickness of 15mm, requiring 4 bolts and a weld length of 450mm.

Calculate a moment splice for 100 kN axial load and 50 kNm moment on a 250x250mm column with S355 steel.

The design requires a plate width of 260mm, 6 bolts of M20 diameter, and a weld size of 8mm.

Is a connection with a 10mm plate, 4 M16 bolts (shear capacity 50kN each), and 100mm weld (size 6mm) safe for 200 kN axial load and 10 kNm moment?

Yes, the connection is safe with a utilization ratio of 0.75.

A bearing splice is designed to transfer axial compression loads, while a moment splice is designed to transfer both axial loads and bending moments.
