Estudio geotécnico in Muxía

In Muxía, the dominant subsoil is formed mainly of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, to which smaller proportions of shales and schists are added. This type of material generally provides good bearing capacity for foundations, although its low permeability may require specific drainage solutions in projects where surface water could accumulate. It is important to consider the stratified behaviour of these soils when designing foundations, as there may be alternations of materials of differing consistency.

The area shows very low seismicity, with only 7 recorded events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 3.1, which implies that seismic requirements in structural design are usually not very demanding. There are no risks associated with karst processes or problems of expansiveness, since the subsoil is not clayey. Thus, the main geotechnical constraint lies in the complex lithological structure and the low permeability of the formations; these factors must be verified through a detailed geotechnical study before founding any structure.
