no...the settlement would be too great, unless you can make a uniform settlement occur. As you build.. the soils will settle. if you're lucky..it will be uniform..unlucky and you have differientual settlement. Then there's mass consolidation to consider.
Rent a compactor...dry your soils to optimum moisture content and compact the soils.......even tamping it with a hand operated tamper will be better than loose fill.

Structures are built on loose, damp soil all the time. Some of them are called docks, piers and bridges. Support pilings are driven into the mud, sometimes down to bedrock for large structures, sometimes not so deep for lighter structures.

remove the loose soil in the foundation, put rocks and gravel then use a compactor

No; soil is bad to build on because of liquefaction.

Of course, a wooden structure will be allright. No concrete plz.
