PRACTICE PROMPT
Use this fictional setting to practise clear reasoning. It is not an assessment or institution paper.
The setting
A concrete slab spanning two ways, 6 m × 7 m, simply supported on four edges.
Your task
Size the slab and estimate reinforcement in each direction.
What a useful response would show
Two-way action used, with corner reinforcement noted.
Reflect afterwards
- What assumption mattered most?
- What would you check before using this on a real project?
- Could another engineer follow your recommendation?
