Estudio geotécnico in Jabugo

In Jabugo, granites, gneisses and other igneous rocks predominate, with a notable presence of slates and schists. This setting of rock substrata generally implies an excellent bearing capacity for shallow foundations, although it may require specific excavation techniques due to the hardness and fractured nature of these materials. Fine sands and silts are very scarce, so they will rarely condition the choice of foundation type.

Seismicity in Jabugo is very low, with only 4 events in the last 30 years and a maximum recorded magnitude of 2.1, thus ruling out the need for special considerations in terms of seismic actions. The non-clayey substratum eliminates the risk of expansivity, but the possible presence of karst in the subsoil requires the carrying out of a geotechnical study to verify and rule out cavities or instabilities before designing the foundation, this being the main local constraint.
