Estudio geotécnico in Ítrabo

In Ítrabo, the dominant geological substrate is composed mainly of slates and schists, which account for almost the entire ground. These materials, due to their laminated nature and low intrinsic permeability, generally provide adequate bearing capacity for shallow or semi-deep foundations, although it is advisable to analyse the continuity and weathering of the strata in order to determine the best foundation solution in each case.

Seismic activity in the municipality is very low, with only 5 recorded events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2.2, which implies an insignificant seismic risk for structural design. The non-clayey substrate rules out the risk of expansiveness. However, it is worth noting the existence of karst phenomena, so it is essential to verify the presence of cavities before carrying out any type of foundation, as this factor is the main geotechnical constraint in the area.
