PRACTICE PROMPT
Use this fictional setting to practise clear reasoning. It is not an assessment or institution paper.
The setting
A sloping site with 1 in 4 fall and a building set across the slope.
Your task
Propose a foundation strategy including stepping.
What a useful response would show
Step ratios sensible, and global slope stability at least mentioned.
Reflect afterwards
- What assumption mattered most?
- What would you check before using this on a real project?
- Could another engineer follow your recommendation?
