Estudio geotécnico in Antzuola

In Antzuola, the dominant geotechnical substrate corresponds to limestones, dolomites and marbles, carbonate materials characterised by high mechanical strength and good bearing capacity, favourable conditions for well-designed shallow foundations. Although smaller proportions of sandstones, conglomerates, flysch are identified, as well as granite and igneous rocks, most of the ground shows low permeability with the possibility of shallow aquifers, so it will be important to verify the groundwater table in the specific studies.

Seismic activity in Antzuola is very low, with only a single event in the last 30 years and a recorded maximum magnitude of 1.5, so this aspect is ruled out as a relevant conditioning factor for structural design. Additionally, since it is a non-clayey substrate, there is no risk of expansivity in the area analysed. Thus, the main focus in geotechnical characterisation should be directed to identifying possible water levels and to the correct local interpretation of lithological heterogeneity.
