Types of ground in Fontellas
In Fontellas, the dominant subsoil is composed mainly of fine sands and silts, with frequent occurrences of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, as well as localised areas of compact gravels and carbonate materials such as limestones and dolomites. These soils generally exhibit good bearing-capacity conditions, particularly in the gravel zones and in lithified cementations; however, the presence of silty strata may require a detailed analysis to avoid differential settlement. The extensive ground permeability, associated with productive aquifers, is a relevant factor for foundation solutions and for controlling the groundwater table.
Seismic activity in Fontellas is high, with more than 200 recorded events over 30 years and an estimated maximum magnitude (Mmax) of 5.2, which necessitates strict consideration of seismic requirements in structural design. As there are no clayey substrates, the risk of expansivity is ruled out, facilitating volumetric ground stability. In conclusion, the main constraint for a geotechnical study in Fontellas is seismicity, which must be assessed carefully when defining both the foundation and the structural response to possible seismic movements.
