Hello dear forum members,
the demolition of my building project has now been carried out ( ).
In addition, a construction road was built, which unfortunately ends directly at an (empty) (PE) cistern ( ).
My neighbor and basically co-builder (but with his own house at the back of the entire property) is now afraid that the cistern could be damaged if a 40-ton truck drives all the way up the construction road to the back. The pressure distributes (as explained to me by our site manager) at a 45° angle downward. This would definitely mean that part of the cistern would bear part of the pressure. There is probably about 1 meter of soil between the construction road and the cistern. The cistern is approximately 2x1.5x1 m in size and stands vertically, with its longest side underground.
Is his concern justified? Is it enough, for example, simply to fill the cistern? Or is it better to dig it up and relocate it? Here, I am concerned that the construction road at the back might no longer be stable, even if we refill the hole; we probably won’t be able to compact it well (the neighbor wants to do everything in EL)...
Does anyone of you have experience in civil engineering or can even calculate this? What data would be needed for that?
