Hi,
Just wanting some expertise regarding backfilling a sloped benched excavation(in rock) with flowable fill then loading this up(via a structural element), is there considerable design required to ensure the transfer of load and or the adequacy of the fill?
its a unique case with extremely high loading which is business as usual when loaded directly to the rock, however due to construction sequencing a 3m deep 1:1 trench is being excavated below and flowable fill is being proposed prior to loading it up.
Cheers.
