Estudio geotécnico in Nuñomoral

In Nuñomoral, the dominant substrate is formed mainly by slates and schists, which account for around 77% of the soils, accompanied to a lesser extent by sandstones, conglomerates and flysch. These rocks generally have low permeability, although they may host shallow aquifers under certain conditions. The fundamentally rocky nature of the ground usually ensures a good bearing capacity for shallow foundations, although it is advisable to carry out specific tests to identify any possible alterations or local fracturing that could affect the uniformity of the support.

Seismicity in the area can be considered notable, with 56 events in the last 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 3.1, which advises appropriately assessing these parameters in the development of the geotechnical study, even if the expected intensity is not critical. There are no indications of karstification or any significant presence of expansive clayey soils, so the non-clayey substrate rules out expansivity risks. Overall, the structural control of the rock, together with consideration of the local seismic response, constitutes the main technical factor to be assessed in any intervention.
