Building with Leca (Garage in basement)

[Wahlen]

Hi!
I am planning to build a garage in leca with dimensions of 7.8x6.8m in a slope where the rear wall (6.8m) will be about 2m below ground, gradually leveling to 0 at the front of the garage.
I will have a wooden floor structure.
I plan to build with 59*25*19 "blocks" and have some questions about how to address the ground pressure against the rear wall.
Should I reinforce every course or not?
What type of reinforcement should I use?
Do I need to build counterforts?

Gratefully accepting tips and ideas.
Best regards, Christer

In that brochure, you have what you need to know.

We built 6*6 m with the rear wall underground (sutteräng) and reinforced in every layer underground, as well as drilled down rebar between each Lecablock in the lowest layer against the slab. Placed a stone sideways, like a "contrifor" in the middle, but doubtful if that one has any real use?

Overkill with so much reinforcement, but it probably won't collapse if there's an earthquake

A buttress is made with two block lengths interlocking with the wall, i.e. 1200mm from the outer wall, supported by an L-iron.
