Hi guys,
Engineer has provided me details for brick up retaining prior to pouring the slab, my house slab will be elevated ~700mm above natural ground level in some areas so the initial plan was to brick up and then fill/compact followed by slab.
I am considering utilising deepened (drop) edge beams (illustration below) as a means to retaining the fill versus brick up retaining. Would anyone here have structural engineered drawings if they have utilised deepened edge beams in one of your developments? I would like to have a general understanding on the general thickness of the deepened edge beams (150mm?), reinforcements and general footing requirements (and rebates) prior to potentially having the engineer change the plans.
Thanks!
