Estudio geotécnico in Mora

In the municipality of Mora, the subsoil is mainly dominated by formations of granite, gneiss and other igneous rocks, accompanied by significant proportions of limestones and dolomites. These lithologies offer high bearing capacity, especially over outcrops of sound rock, which favours the use of direct shallow foundations in most cases. The minor presence of consolidated detrital materials and slates suggests paying attention to the uniformity of the resistant stratum in order to optimise construction solutions.

Seismicity in Mora is very low, with only 9 recorded events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 1.8, so seismic hazard is technically irrelevant for the design of structures. Given the absence of clays in the ground, the risk of expansivity is ruled out. There are no indications of karstification or associated phenomena, so the main geotechnical consideration will be the correct characterisation of the degree of alteration of the rocky materials present on site.
