Estudio geotécnico in Íllora

In Íllora, the predominant ground is composed of fine sands and silts, accompanied by a significant proportion of limestones, dolomites and marbles. These geological conditions provide a bearing capacity that is generally adequate, although the degree of compaction of the fine soils must be analysed to avoid differential settlements. The presence of carbonate materials requires careful assessment of the potential for karstification before defining the foundation type, as voids or dissolution phenomena could occur and compromise the stability of the structure.

Local seismicity is moderate, with 38 events recorded in the last 30 years and a maximum magnitude reaching 4.6, so this factor must be reflected in the structural design in accordance with the regulations. Although the substrate does not present any risk of expansiveness, the main constraint for the geotechnical study in Íllora is the possible presence of karst phenomena, which must be verified through appropriate reconnaissance campaigns before carrying out foundation works.
