Estudio geotécnico in Bonrepòs i Mirambell

In Bonrepòs i Mirambell, soils consisting mainly of fine sands and silts predominate, followed by gravels and compact sands. This lithological arrangement implies a variable bearing capacity: in areas of compact sands, the strength is generally adequate for shallow foundations, whereas sectors dominated by silts may require a more detailed characterisation due to their sensitivity to moisture and compressibility. The presence of formations that are generally impermeable, although it allows for some shallow aquifers, limits the foundation depth, so it is recommended to investigate the local groundwater table.

Seismic activity in Bonrepòs i Mirambell is considered moderate, with 27 recorded events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 3.4; therefore, the seismic design requirements are moderate in structural calculations. Since the substrate is non-clayey, the risk of expansiveness is ruled out. The main constraint for the local geotechnical study lies in the proper identification of the groundwater table and the correct classification of the silts, to ensure the safety and stability of the proposed foundations.
