Estudio geotécnico in Pobla Llarga, the

In La Pobla Llarga, the predominant subsoil is formed by compacted gravels and sands, which provides ground with good mechanical characteristics and a notable bearing capacity for the foundations of buildings. These materials are favourable for the direct support of structures, provided that their appropriate degree of compaction and thickness are confirmed during the geotechnical study. The presence of extensive aquifers and moderate permeability requires special attention to the drainage design, particularly in the case of deep excavations or basements.

Seismicity in the municipality is classified as moderate, with 27 events recorded over the last 30 years, although with a modest maximum magnitude of 3.4, which limits the influence of seismic actions on structural design. There are no risks associated with karst or with expansive soils, since the non-clayey subsoil rules out the possibility of significant expansivity. The existence of aquifers indicates the need for monitoring groundwater levels as the main constraint for foundation planning.
