Foundations on Debris
Foundations on Debris
(OP)
I am going to design a 2 story building on debris flow/landslide debris materials. Some excavation in the debris showed that soil profiles are not well developed in this area indicating a relatively young age of deposition but it was uniform in clour and particle size distribution and (some boulders). A loose compactness could explain the almost unstable walls.
What are thee concerns about bearing a footing on debris flow? Thanks.

Geohazard risk assessment carried out shows that the area is safe for a building construction. The site is flat with no risk of slides. The current task is finding geotechnicl parameters for foundation design. Thanks for all the valuable feedback.
