Estudio geotécnico in Rafelcofer

In Rafelcofer, soils predominantly composed of fine sands and silts are present, accounting for almost all the materials found in the subsoil. This substratum generally facilitates good drainage conditions and a moderate bearing capacity, although it will be essential to carry out a detailed geotechnical study to define the optimum foundation support depth and determine the most suitable type of foundation for each project. Limestones, dolomites and marbles occur very occasionally and rarely condition the standard design in the locality.

Seismicity in Rafelcofer is classified as moderate, with 27 events over thirty years and a maximum recorded magnitude of 3.4, which does not represent a relevant structural constraint under current regulations. There are no risks associated with expansive clayey soils or karst phenomena in the area, which implies that, over the dominant substratum, the main factor to consider in the geotechnical study will be the uniformity and compaction of the sands and silts, particularly for large-scale works.
