Estudio geotécnico in Algueña

The subsoil in Algueña is composed mainly of fine sands and silts, which represent approximately 62% of the soils, together with limestones, dolomites and marbles that account for around 29%. The presence of these materials, particularly limestones and dolomites, can influence bearing capacity and the choice of the foundation type, so it is advisable to carry out specific studies to determine their local behaviour at the time of construction planning.

The area shows moderate seismicity, with a historical maximum of Mmax 1.9 and around 3 events over 30 years, so the seismic risk in Algueña is low. However, the prior existence of karst formations should be verified before building foundations, since the presence of karst can affect the stability of structures and the level of safety, and the low permeability of the formations is also considered to ensure correct support in the foundations.
