What is the purpose of this tool?

It calculates wind pressure on structures using simplified ASCE 7 methodology, considering regional wind speeds and terrain exposure. Tools available: `your_tool_name`.

How do I find the wind speed for my location?

Use the `lookup_wind_speed` tool by providing your US state abbreviation and, optionally, your county name.

What are exposure categories B, C, and D?

Category B is for urban/suburban areas; Category C is for open terrain like grasslands; Category D is for smooth surfaces like waterfronts.

This MCP server provides structural engineering tools to estimate wind velocity pressure at specific building heights. By utilizing the lookup_wind_speed tool, you can retrieve base wind speeds for any US state or county. The calculate_pressure_at_height tool then computes the pressure in pounds per square foot (psF) by accounting for terrain roughness (Exposure Categories B, C, or D). For a comprehensive analysis, use compare_exposure_scenarios to see how different environmental terrains impact wind force at a single elevation.
