Estudio geotécnico in Lozoyuela-Navas-Sieteiglesias

In the municipality of Lozoyuela-Navas-Sieteiglesias, schists and slates predominate, with a significant presence of granite, gneiss and igneous rocks. These materials offer good mechanical behaviour and, in general, provide a sound and stable foundation for building projects. The low permeability of these soils limits infiltration, which can be beneficial for the durability of shallow foundations and reduces the risk of liquefaction processes, generally allowing conventional surface foundations.

Seismic activity in Lozoyuela-Navas-Sieteiglesias is very low, with only one recorded event in the last 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 1.9, so seismicity is not a relevant constraint in structural design. Since the bedrock is not clayey, the presence of risks associated with expansive soils is ruled out. Consequently, the main factor to be considered in the geotechnical study will be a detailed assessment of the degree of rock weathering and the possible presence of weathered near-surface layers that could affect bearing capacity.
