Estudio geotécnico in Camprodon

In Camprodon, strata of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch predominate, associated with a bearing capacity that can be considered moderate and a low deformability, enabling shallow foundations except in localised areas where gypsum, anhydrite and salts crop out. These latter formations represent a potential risk of dissolution, so they must be analysed in detail at specific sites. The presence of limestones, dolomites and marbles is occasional and may involve variability in ground behaviour, whereas shales and schists typically have adequate bearing capacity but require a geotechnical assessment of their behaviour under load.

Seismic activity in Camprodon is moderate, with 37 events over 30 years and a recorded maximum magnitude of 3.1, which indicates a low impact for structural design. The subsoil is characterised by the absence of expansive clays, ruling out possible swelling problems. The main geotechnical caution lies in assessing the potential for dissolution in gypsum-bearing soils or soils containing salts, which can affect the stability of foundations if they are not addressed appropriately in the geotechnical study.
