Estudio geotécnico in Bellver de Cerdanya

In Bellver de Cerdanya, sandstone, conglomerate, flysch, slate and schist strata predominate, together representing the majority of the near-surface lithology. These formations generally offer favourable bearing capacity, although their low permeability may influence the drainage of groundwater and the long-term stability of foundations. Fine sands and silts, present in smaller proportions, may require analysis if they occur at the support level. Precise identification of the soil type will be key to defining the most suitable type of foundation.

Seismic activity within the municipality is classified as moderate, with 30 events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 3.7, which suggests that seismic effects generally do not significantly condition standard structural design. However, due to the documented presence of karst in the area, it is essential to verify the existence of cavities or prior instabilities before starting any foundation work, as this factor can decisively affect the safety and feasibility of the project. The non-clayey nature of the substrate rules out risks associated with expansive soils.
