PRACTICE PROMPT
Use this fictional setting to practise clear reasoning. It is not an assessment or institution paper.
The setting
A slab edge at a fully glazed elevation with no perimeter beam.
Your task
Draw the slab edge including the glazing support and the fire stop.
What a useful response would show
Edge stiffness, deflection at the head of the glazing below, and the movement allowance.
Reflect afterwards
- What assumption mattered most?
- What would you check before using this on a real project?
- Could another engineer follow your recommendation?
