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)
-25 cm ground slab (without strip foundations)
The house will be built on a slight slope. Slope across the house width (10 m) approx. 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 ground slab. Can the compacted gravel eventually give way 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 this could be better executed. Thank you very much
Regards
