Estudio geotécnico in Monda

In the municipality of Monda, sandstones, conglomerates and flysch predominate, accompanied in smaller proportions by shales, schists, granite and other igneous rocks. These materials form a competent subsoil, generally of low permeability, although superficial aquifers may occur locally. In general terms, the bearing capacity of these soils is favourable for most foundation solutions, although the occasional presence of less consolidated materials in the flysch may require additional checks to ensure stability.

Seismic activity in the area is very low, with only 2 recorded events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2.4, so seismicity does not constitute a relevant constraint in geotechnical design. The subsoil is not clayey, ruling out the risk of expansiveness. Nevertheless, attention should be paid to the possible development of karst phenomena, as their presence may generate voids or cavities, making it essential to verify them before carrying out any foundation. The main geotechnical constraint in Monda is therefore the possible existence of karst beneath the ground supporting the foundations.
