Estudio geotécnico in Moralzarzal

In Moralzarzal, the predominant soils correspond to granite and gneiss, associated with igneous rocks of high mechanical strength and low weathering. These materials provide a high and stable bearing capacity, which allows the execution of shallow or near-surface strip footings, provided that altered zones or weathering mantles are not identified. The presence of groundwater is minimal and usually does not influence the choice of foundation type in most plots.

Seismic activity in Moralzarzal is very low, with only around 2 recorded events over three decades and a maximum magnitude of 1.9, so seismicity does not represent a relevant constraint for structural design. There is also no problem related to karstification or risk of expansivity, since the non-clayey bedrock rules out this threat. The main factor to be assessed will therefore be the possible fracturing or locally altered condition within the rock mass.
