Estudio geotécnico in Outes

In Outes, the predominant subsoil is composed of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, representing 63.78% of the area, to which shales and schists contribute a further 29.11%. These lithologies provide a generally competent foundation for shallow foundations, standing out for their low permeability and the scant presence of clays. This composition supports adequate bearing capacity for conventional buildings, although it may host shallow aquifers depending on the local hydrogeological setting.

Seismicity in Outes is considered very low, with only 7 events over thirty years and a maximum magnitude of 3,1, which does not impose any relevant restrictions on structural design. The non-clayey substrate rules out the risk of soil expansivity, reinforcing the geotechnical context as favourable. The main factor to analyse will be the point-by-point identification of areas with a possible high water table, which may influence the foundation design calculations.
