PRACTICE PROMPT
Use this fictional setting to practise clear reasoning. It is not an assessment or institution paper.
The setting
A steel portal frame eaves haunch connection.
Your task
Draw the haunch, bolt group and stiffening.
What a useful response would show
Moment transfer, column stiffening opposite the flanges, and restraint at the haunch toe.
Reflect afterwards
- What assumption mattered most?
- What would you check before using this on a real project?
- Could another engineer follow your recommendation?
