PRACTICE PROMPT
Use this fictional setting to practise clear reasoning. It is not an assessment or institution paper.
The setting
A cold store where the ground beneath will be kept below freezing.
Your task
Propose a ground floor and foundation solution.
What a useful response would show
Frost heave addressed, by insulation, heating or a suspended floor.
Reflect afterwards
- What assumption mattered most?
- What would you check before using this on a real project?
- Could another engineer follow your recommendation?
