PRACTICE PROMPT
Use this fictional setting to practise clear reasoning. It is not an assessment or institution paper.
The setting
Rock at 1.5 m below a single-storey industrial building with heavy point loads.
Your task
Propose and size a foundation.
What a useful response would show
Rock exploited rather than piled through, with a bearing check.
Reflect afterwards
- What assumption mattered most?
- What would you check before using this on a real project?
- Could another engineer follow your recommendation?
