Estudio geotécnico in Huéneja

In Huéneja, soils clearly predominate that are formed by slates and schists, accounting for 87.45% of the surface formations, to which occasional occurrences of compact gravel and sand are added. These lithologies generally show low permeability, although surface aquifers associated with discontinuities may exist. From a geotechnical perspective, the rocky composition provides favourable bearing capacity, facilitating solutions for shallow foundations and reducing the need for deep or special foundations, except in specific areas where loose alluvial fill outcrops.

Seismicity in Huéneja is considered moderate, with 10 events in the last 30 years and a maximum recorded magnitude of 1.9, a value that does not impose any notable constraints on the usual structural design. There are no signs of karst processes or expansive soils, since the substrate is not clayey, which significantly reduces the risks associated with differential movements or swelling. Therefore, the main factor to be taken into account in local geotechnical studies will be the accurate characterisation of the discontinuity and quality of these metamorphic rocks in order to define a safe and durable foundation.
