Estudio geotécnico in Abrucena

In the municipality of Abrucena, materials of slate and schist predominate, accounting for most of the subsurface, accompanied to a lesser extent by compact gravels and sands. These lithologies generally exhibit low permeability and mechanical characteristics suitable for transmitting building loads, which translates into sufficient bearing capacity for shallow foundations, provided that the stability conditions and physical condition of the rock mass are inspected.

The seismic risk in Abrucena is very low, with only five recorded events over thirty years and a low maximum magnitude. There are no indications of karstification or any significant presence of expansive clay soils, so the non-clayey substrate eliminates concern regarding expansivity. The main geotechnical constraint will be linked to identifying the state of fracturing of the rock in order to define the foundation type correctly.
