Estudio geotécnico in Aledo

In Aledo, the predominant soils are formed by limestones, dolomites, marbles, as well as by sandstone, conglomerates, flysch and significant proportions of fine sands and silts. This lithological composition will generally provide adequate bearing capacity, but it should be taken into account that areas dominated by gypsum, anhydrite and salts, although infrequent, may pose a risk of dissolution, which requires a detailed assessment when selecting the type and depth of the foundation. The low presence of cohesive materials and the generally impermeable nature of the strata favour good stability, although it is recommended to avoid levels containing soft or loose materials.

In terms of geotechnical risks, the recorded seismicity is moderate, with 14 events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 3.3, which indicates a low seismic impact on structural design. However, the possible presence of karst phenomena in calcareous and dolomitic formations requires prior verification through specific investigation before constructing the foundations, since cavities may compromise stability. The non-clayey substrate rules out expansivity as a risk. Therefore, the main technical constraint for any geotechnical study in Aledo is the appropriate checking of local karst development.
