Estudio geotécnico in Ibias

In the municipality of Ibias, the geological substrate is mainly composed of slates and schists, representing more than 80% of the ground. These materials exhibit low permeability and generally good mechanical performance, although they may contain areas of structural weakness. The low bearing capacity in certain zones and the occasional presence of masses of water and shallow aquifers mean that the selection of the foundation system must take account of local heterogeneity and ensure adequate load distribution onto competent materials.

Seismic activity in Ibias is moderate, with 34 events over thirty years and a maximum magnitude of 3, values that do not require any special structural considerations. The substrate is not clayey, ruling out problems of expansiveness in the ground. However, due to the possible presence of karst phenomena, it is essential to verify the existence of cavities or associated instabilities before carrying out any foundation, as this aspect may influence project safety in a critical way.
