Estudio geotécnico in Beniarbeig

In the municipality of Beniarbeig, the predominant subsoil is made up of compact gravels and sands, which form a ground with high bearing capacity and low susceptibility to expansion, facilitating the construction of deep and shallow foundations with a lower risk of differential settlement. Limestone, dolomite and marble formations are also common, which may influence the choice of foundation techniques and the stability of ground, particularly in the case of underground works or galleries. The low permeability of these formations, in a context of shallow aquifers, requires attention to possible groundwater movements in the design of structures.

Seismicity in the area, with a maximum magnitude of 3.4 and 52 events over 30 years, is considered moderate, so it should be taken into account in structural projects. In addition, although the municipality has karst features, the non-argillaceous substrate condition and the absence of significant expansivity risks, such as predominant expansive clays, make it possible to rule out problems related to soil dilation or shrinkage. However, it is advisable to check in advance for the presence of karst formations before carrying out foundations in order to avoid risks of sinking or collapse in the planned foundations.
