Estudio geotécnico in Miramar

In Miramar, the predominant subsoil is mainly composed of fine sands and silts, accompanied in smaller proportions by white or soft expansive clays. These soils exhibit high permeability due to the presence of extensive and productive aquifers, which favours a good bearing capacity for shallow foundations, although it requires particular attention to the heterogeneity of the ground and the possible local presence of soft layers or of low relative density.

Seismicity in the municipality is very low, with only two events recorded in the last 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 3.2, which implies a practically negligible seismic risk for structural design. The non-clayey subsoil rules out the possibility of problems associated with expansivity, which simplifies the foundation selection process. Consequently, the main geotechnical consideration is to properly characterise the uniformity and compaction of the sandy and silty levels present in the area.
