Estudio geotécnico in La Canonja

In the municipality of La Canonja, the ground is made up mainly of compacted gravels and sands, which provides an excellent bearing capacity for the usual building foundations. These granular materials allow a homogeneous distribution of loads and reduce the risk of differential settlement, facilitating the use of shallow (direct) foundations provided that the water table level and the degree of compaction are suitable.

From a seismic standpoint, La Canonja shows moderate seismicity, recording 30 events over the last 30 years with a maximum magnitude of 2.5, which implies a low risk. The non-clayey substratum eliminates concerns about expansiveness, and the absence of karst reduces additional risks. The main factor to consider in the geotechnical study is the presence of aquifers with moderate permeability, which may influence the foundation design and the control of the water table level.
