PRACTICE PROMPT
Use this fictional setting to practise clear reasoning. It is not an assessment or institution paper.
The setting
A slab step of 400 mm at a change of use.
Your task
Draw the step including reinforcement.
What a useful response would show
The re-entrant corner reinforced, and the force path around the step.
Reflect afterwards
- What assumption mattered most?
- What would you check before using this on a real project?
- Could another engineer follow your recommendation?
