Estudio geotécnico in El Campillo

In El Campillo, the predominant bedrock is formed by slates and schists, materials characterised by their laminated texture and variable strength. This type of ground provides an acceptable bearing capacity for shallow foundations, although it is essential to verify the continuity and degree of rock alteration at the specific site. Sandstones and conglomerates, present only locally, can locally improve conditions for founding due to their greater hardness and permeability.

Seismicity in the area is very low, with only four events in the last 30 years and a low maximum magnitude, which implies a very minor seismic constraint in structural design. The presence of expansive clays is sporadic and limited by the climatic environment, which significantly reduces the risk associated with volumetric movements; however, in specific areas where these clays are present, it is advisable to carry out a specific analysis. The main constraint is related to the heterogeneity and the state of alteration of the underlying materials.
