Estudio geotécnico in Beneixama

The subsoil in Beneixama is characterised mainly by a predominance of fine sands and silts, accounting for approximately 51.57% of the soils. The significant presence of limestones, dolomites and marbles, at 45.25%, provides a variable bearing capacity and requires a detailed study to determine the most suitable foundation techniques, particularly considering the possible presence of impermeable or low-permeability formations that may affect the performance of the support. The nature of the substratum influences the choice of foundation techniques, prioritising that which ensures stability under conditions of permeable soil or resistance to erosion.

Seismicity in the area, with an event every 30 years and an Mmax of 2, indicates moderate seismic activity, which must be taken into account in structural design. In addition, the presence of karst in Beneixama means that it is essential to verify carefully before founding, since karstic zones may present hazards such as ground subsidence or disintegration of the ground. The combination of these characteristics places the main constraint on the need for geotechnical studies that assess the possible effects of karst and ensure a safe and durable foundation.
