PRACTICE PROMPT
Use this fictional setting to practise clear reasoning. It is not an assessment or institution paper.
The setting
A 6 m span one-way spanning slab at 3.0 kN/m² imposed, 1.5 kN/m² finishes.
Your task
Size the slab and estimate reinforcement.
What a useful response would show
Span-to-depth used properly, then checked.
Reflect afterwards
- What assumption mattered most?
- What would you check before using this on a real project?
- Could another engineer follow your recommendation?
