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

  1. What assumption mattered most?
  2. What would you check before using this on a real project?
  3. Could another engineer follow your recommendation?
