  1. This is for a walkout basement.
     
    Is it bad practice to have just 3 walls of foundation and thus frame the wall the walkout is on?
    I'm wondering if this would be a lot of torque at the opposite corners (red circles) from the gravel backfill pushing in on the foundation walls (red arrows)?

    (Note: there is a concrete frost wall below the wood framing on the walkout side)

     

    See attached picture.
