Stud Wall Load Calculator MCP Connector for Claude
A+Calculate the allowable axial and lateral load capacity for wood stud walls based on NDS standards.
This MCP server provides structural engineering calculations for wood stud wall assemblies. Using the National Design Specification (NDS) for Wood Construction, it allows users to determine the safe vertical weight (axial load) and horizontal pressure (lateral load) a wall can withstand. By providing parameters such as wood species (SPF, HF, DF), wall height, and stud spacing (1-inch or 24-inch on-center), you can use tools like calculate_axial_capacity to find the allowable vertical load per linear foot or calculate_lateral_capacity to determine wind pressure resistance. The server also includes get_material_properties for retrieving species-specific strength data and validate_wall_configuration to ensure your construction parameters follow standard building practices.
