[TowerTalk] Tower Foundation Pouring

[Wes Stewart]

By that logic, the slab of my garage floor should be about five feet thick at 
one corner.  Instead, a reinforced concrete stem wall constrains engineered 
backfill that was placed in 6 inch lifts and beat down to two inches with a 
six-inch reinforced concrete slab on top.  Compacted backfill is perfectly 
fine.  If the soil is collapsing already, "natural compaction" isn't so great to 
start with.
