DGThe weight. If there is no load-bearing wall underneath the gabions, you are placing about 3 tons of mass on the edge/corner of the reinforced concrete slab – I would at least consult a structural engineer to check whether this works without any issues and whether the surface can handle it.

Hello again,
that's right! I forgot to mention that earlier. We have already checked the density and other properties of the bricks. The 4.50m (14.8 ft) side rests entirely on a wall. The 2.00m (6.6 ft) side is about 40cm (16 inches) away from the wall. Over a length of 200cm (6.6 ft) with a height of 100cm (39 inches) and a thickness of 20cm (8 inches), this results in a weight of approximately 400 kg (880 lbs).
Best regards
