Estudio geotécnico in Forcarei

In Forcarei, substrates of slates and schists predominate, followed by sandstones, conglomerates and flysch. This type of material generally offers good stability for foundations, although the slate and schist lithologies usually have a moderate bearing capacity and may require specific studies of fracturing or weathering. Sandstone and conglomeratic formations introduce variability, but in general, both families of soils are characterised by low permeability, which limits infiltration and facilitates control of groundwater during foundation works.

Seismic activity in Forcarei is moderate, with 27 recorded events over the last 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 3,4, so it does not represent a significant structural constraint in typical projects. Since the substrate is not clayey, expansivity-related problems are ruled out and there are no karstification phenomena affecting the area. Thus, the main geotechnical factor to be considered for studies in the municipality will be the detailed assessment of the strength and degree of alteration of the slate and schist materials present in the area of development.
