Estudio geotécnico in Cabanillas del Campo

In Cabanillas del Campo, water-bearing formations predominate, followed by sandstone, conglomerate and flysch formations, as well as the presence of slates and schists. Occasionally, limestones and dolomites may be found, which implies a rocky subsoil in part of the municipality. The high permeability and the productive nature of the aquifers indicate good conditions for ground drainage and, in general, allow direct foundations to be selected on competent ground, provided that the absence of inadequate organic horizons or less stable materials is verified.

Seismicity in this municipality is high, with more than 150 recorded events over 30 years and a significant maximum magnitude of 4.6, which means that strict criteria must be considered in structural sizing and that the foundation design must be adapted to the current seismic design code. There is also a risk associated with expansive materials, although in a subordinate way or linked to climatic zones without an annual moisture deficit, so their influence is usually secondary compared with the seismic character, which is the main factor to take into account in any geotechnical study in the area.
