Estudio geotécnico in Maside

In the municipality of Maside, the predominant geological substrate is composed of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, covering practically the entirety of the area studied. These materials generally exhibit favourable bearing capacity, providing stability for most usual foundation solutions. However, the low permeability of these soils may lead to shallow aquifers, so proper drainage management is recommended in the foundation design.

Seismicity in Maside is moderate, with a record of 16 events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 3.4, which implies that seismic risk is low and does not represent a significant constraint for structural design. Since the substrate is not clayey, the risk of expansiveness in the foundations is ruled out. The main aspect to be considered in local geotechnical studies is the interaction between low permeability and the water table, which can influence the excavation methods and groundwater control.
