Estudio geotécnico in Albaida del Aljarafe

In Albaida del Aljarafe, the geological substratum is composed mainly of limestones, dolomites and marbles, indicating the dominant presence of hard and compact materials. In general, these soils exhibit low permeability, although some shallow aquifers of a certain local importance may exist. This composition favours high bearing capacities and allows direct foundation solutions in most cases, with the added precaution of examining the continuity and fracturing of the rock.

Seismicity in the municipality is very low, with only a single recorded event in the last 30 years and low magnitudes, which minimises the influence of this factor on the design of structures. However, the main risk lies in the presence of expansive clays that predominate or in problematic areas; this phenomenon can severely affect the stability of foundations if a suitable technical solution is not adopted to mitigate their volumetric behaviour.
