Estudio geotécnico in Cebreros

In Cebreros, granites, gneisses and other igneous rocks predominate, covering close to 84% of the municipality, while slates and schists appear more sporadically. These substratum types provide excellent bearing-capacity conditions, allowing direct foundations on compact rock in most cases. Permeability is low due to the nature of these rocks, favouring stability and minimising risks associated with seepage or differential settlement, although the existence of small, shallow aquifers hosted in fractured zones is possible.

The recorded seismicity is very low, with barely a single minor event in the last thirty years and a maximum magnitude of 1,6, so it does not present relevant constraints for structural design. As it is not an clayey substratum, the risk of expansiveness is ruled out, providing additional security for the design and execution of foundations. In short, the traditionally solid lithological composition is the main favourable factor for geotechnical viability in Cebreros.
