Estudio geotécnico in Pelabravo

In Pelabravo, compact gravels and sands predominate, accompanied by sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, which provides a subsoil with notable bearing capacity for conventional foundations. The less significant presence of fine sands and silts implies that, in most cases, direct foundations can be proposed provided the compactness and the groundwater level are verified, particularly near localised masses of water. The overall impermeability of the formations limits the risk of deep seepage, although some localised superficial aquifer may exist.

The seismicity in the municipal term of Pelabravo is very low, with only 3 events over 30 years and a maximum recorded magnitude of 2.4, so this factor does not condition structural design. No risk associated with karst or expansiveness is detected, since the non-clayey subsoil rules out this type of problem. The main aspect to monitor in a local geotechnical study is the possible presence of soft soils or silt-sandy soils in specific areas, especially near bodies of water.
