Estudio geotécnico in Benaguasil

In Benaguasil, soils formed by limestones, dolomites and marbles predominate, representing almost 68% of the substrate. These materials are characterised by good bearing capacity and low deformability, which favours the construction of direct shallow or deep foundations depending on the project load. The frequent carbonate formations may exhibit some heterogeneity, although the inputs of fine sands, silts and compact gravels are usually smaller and, in general, do not significantly alter the bearing conditions at regional level.

Seismicity in Benaguasil is very low, with very few recorded events and a low maximum magnitude, which places seismic risk at a very low level for structural design. However, there is a possibility of karst due to the carbonate nature of the ground, which implies the need for specific studies to rule out voids or dissolution processes before founding. The risk due to expansivity is low, as expansive clays are subordinate and do not constitute the dominant element in the municipality’s geotechnical environment.
