Types of ground in Caparroso
In Caparroso, compacted gravels and sands predominate, accompanied by contributions of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, providing a highly permeable substrate with good mechanical behaviour. These characteristics facilitate the achievement of adequate bearing capacities for direct shallow foundations, provided that settlement on gypsum, anhydrite and salts—present only occasionally—is avoided, as these materials present a risk of dissolution and may compromise stability in the medium to long term.
Seismic activity in Caparroso is very low, with just 2 recorded events over 30 years and a low maximum magnitude, so seismicity does not represent a relevant constraint in structural design. It is nevertheless essential to verify the possible presence of karstic phenomena, particularly in areas where limestones and dolomites crop out, since the existence of cavities can critically affect foundation safety and stability. As the substrate is non-clayey, there is no significant risk of expansivity, with karstic phenomena and the presence of gypsum being the main aspects to analyse in depth during the geotechnical study campaign.
