Estudio geotécnico in Fuenmayor

In Fuenmayor, the predominant ground consists largely of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, which indicates the presence of consolidated formations with good bearing capacity for conventional foundations. Sectors with fine sands and silts, although present in smaller proportions, may require an assessment of the potential for differential settlement. Localised areas with compact gravels and sands also provide good conditions for supporting foundations, whereas sporadic silts and bodies of water should be avoided as a foundation level, always prioritising ground homogeneity to prevent structural problems.

Seismic activity in Fuenmayor lies within a high range due to the number of events, although the maximum recorded magnitude is M4; therefore, seismicity should be considered in the analysis of the geotechnical study. On the other hand, the non-clayey substrate eliminates the risk of soil expansivity, facilitating the durability of the foundations. The most relevant constraint in this location is the correct identification of the bearing levels and the heterogeneous behaviour of the different types of materials, particularly in peripheral areas with greater lithological alteration.
