Estudio geotécnico in Cambrils

In Cambrils, compact gravels and sands predominate, providing favourable conditions for direct foundations owing to their high bearing capacity. The overconsolidated clays and marls present in smaller proportions contribute to stability, although they require specific assessment if they occur as a bearing stratum. The layers of fine sands and silts, although occasional, may limit bearing capacity in localised areas. The presence of discontinuous and local aquifers indicates permeability and a water table level that must be taken into account during design, particularly for deep excavations.

Seismic activity in the area is very low, with an extremely low maximum magnitude, so seismicity does not constitute a relevant technical constraint for the geotechnical study in Cambrils. As there is no risk of karst and no significant presence of expansive clayey soils, the non-clayey substrate removes concern about expansivity. As a result, the main focus should be on variability in grain size and the permeability of the ground in relation to underground works or deep foundations.
