German term

Anschüttung

German to English Tech/Engineering Geology Geotechnical report
Context: Baugrundbeurteilung

"Die angeschütteten Böden sind in der Regel oberflächennah infolge Fahrverkehrs verdichtet worden und weisen im Bereich der oberen maximal ca. x m unter GOF eine mitteldichte bis dichte Lagerung auf. Für die unterhalb des potentiellen Flachgründungshorizontes anstehenden angeschütteten Böden wird die Lagerungsdichte jedoch mit den Schlagzahlen N20 = ca. 1 • • • 4 charakterisiert. "

Is this a deposition, i.e. a layer deposited through a natural process?

Manuela Junghans Oct 10, 2012:
not sure if "fill up" also exists as a noun - maybe a native speaker has something to say about this
Mariana Rohlig Sa (asker) Oct 10, 2012:
An example with a noun from the text "Die Anschüttung stellt somit einen nur wenig tragfähigen, sehr stark verform¬baren Baugrundhorizont dar, der für die Ausführung einer Flach¬gründung auch vergleichsweise leichter Anlagenteile im vorhandenen Zustand nicht geeignet ist"

to fill (up)

sometimes also "backfill"
I think it would rather be used as a verb than a noun, as in the sample of your text
