Hello everyone I want to build a single-family house without a basement. Planned structure: -Gravel, compacted. Slope evened out with topsoil and gravel. -Styrodur (full thermal insulation) -Concrete slab 25 cm (without strip foundations)
The house will be built on a slight slope. Slope across the house width (10 m) about 90 cm, whereby the first half of the house will stand on a flat section, and the slope begins in the second half. I have a bad feeling about the concrete slab. Can the compacted gravel give way at some point so that the ground/gravel under the house "floats away"? Or is compacted gravel sufficient/OK? Should strip foundations perhaps be used instead, or are there other ideas?
Please share your opinions, possibly a suggestion on how to execute this better. Many thanks
Regards
