Estudio geotécnico in Fuentealbilla

In Fuentealbilla, the dominant subsoil is made up mostly of limestones, dolomites and marbles—rock materials that provide a high bearing capacity, which makes it easier to select conventional foundation solutions, such as isolated footings or rafts. Compact gravel and sand occur occasionally and do not represent a significant proportion in the municipality. The low permeability typical of these formations contributes to good stability against variations in surface water conditions, although there may be deep aquifers whose interaction must be assessed according to the foundation depth.

The seismicity recorded in Fuentealbilla is very low, with only 1 event in the last 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 1.6, which implies a practically negligible seismic risk for buildings. Since carbonate materials predominate, the development of karst processes is possible; therefore, it is essential to check for the presence of cavities or dissolution before carrying out any foundation works, as this is the most relevant geotechnical constraint. The subsoil does not contain expansive clays, ruling out risks associated with expansivity.
