Types of ground in Cárcar
In the municipality of Cárcar, soils of gypsum, anhydrite and salts predominate, which implies a high risk of dissolution and subsidence—critical aspects to take into account when planning any foundation. These materials, together with the occasional presence of fine sands, silts and gravels, provide a variable bearing capacity and require detailed characterisation before defining the most suitable type of structural support. The appearance of extensive, highly permeable aquifers further reinforces the need for thorough boreholes to delineate stable areas and avoid differential settlements, particularly in projects where groundwater levels are relevant.
Seismic activity in Cárcar is very low, with only two events in the last 30 years and a very low maximum magnitude (Mmax 1.6), so seismicity does not represent a relevant constraint for structural design. Since the substrate is not clayey, the risk of expansiveness is ruled out. However, the possible presence of karst processes in limestones, dolomites and gypsum requires verification prior to foundation works, as the evolution of cavities or dissolutions can seriously compromise the stability of the structures. This phenomenon is the main geotechnical constraint in the area.
