Plan a flashcard session
Start with Shallow foundations if you want to practise distinguishing footing types. Use foundations and floors to revisit terms such as bearing capacity, settlement and compaction. Then move to Deep Foundations for pile questions, or choose a basement deck for waterproofing practice.
Try answering each prompt before checking its card, and return to the terms you find difficult. If a card leaves you wanting a fuller explanation, look for notes or a mind map on the unit page. Pick a deck and start with a few cards.
