Estudio geotécnico in Almoradí

The substrate in Almoradí is dominated by fine sands and silts in more than 87%, along with limestones, dolomites and marbles in a minor proportion. The presence of these soils suggests a generally adequate bearing capacity for shallow foundations, although the high proportion of fine, silty soils requires careful analysis to avoid delayed settlement or deformations. The impermeability of the formations, combined with shallow aquifers, may influence the choice of foundation method and water management on site.

Seismicity in Almoradí, with 25 events over 30 years and a Mmax of 3.3, is moderate but should be considered in structural design. In addition, there is evidence of karst, which must be verified before proceeding with foundation works, as it may affect ground stability. Since the subsoil does not show significant expansivity, the main geotechnical limiting factor lies in the interaction of the fine soils and in the possible influence of karst on the stability of the structures.
