In Australia you have a local planning code to adhere to, and the building permit and engineering are done separately.
Got the plans through the local council without issue, as size and setbacks were all within standard specs.
The engineer went to town with the retaining walls, they are 300mm thick at the base, and core filled to the roof with vertical rio every 200mm and rio along the whole length every 2nd coarse of blocks. And as you can see it all ties back in to a huge amount of concete in the slab.
So to answer the question: yes it is to code (but I think the engineer has gone to the extreem a little). |
