Hello dear forum community,
I have a question and maybe someone who knows something about civil engineering can answer it.
I want to build a foundation for a double garage soon, prefabricated construction. Of course, I have to remove the topsoil – about 30 cm according to the soil report – until I reach bindigen loess (weakly clayey silt) which, as the report shows, is very load-bearing with additional compaction. However, it tends to spread due to stored moisture, etc. Since I am also installing a cistern and consequently have a lot of excavation from this layer, I wonder if it would be effective to pile up and compact the loess soil at the garage construction site, raise the ground level to the desired height (about 30 cm OKG), and build the frost-free foundation on top of it (I am aiming for a strip foundation or a slab).
Would this be a method that is unproblematic in the long term or should I rather invest more money and fill everything with mineral aggregate?!
Best regards
