Estudio geotécnico in Recas

In Recas, water masses and sandy, conglomeratic and flysch materials predominate, followed by frequent outcrops of limestones, dolomites and marbles. This composition favours soils with moderate permeability and the presence of discontinuous aquifers, which may affect bearing capacity and the choice of foundation level. Sandstones and conglomerates generally allow for direct foundations, whereas the water zones and less coherent materials require detailed analysis to avoid differential settlements and to ensure the stability of the structures.

Seismic activity in Recas is very low, with only one recorded event in 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2.3, so the seismic risk is practically negligible for structural design. There are no karstification phenomena in the area, thereby minimising the risk of unexpected collapses or subsidence. The expansive potential of the clays is secondary or linked to microenvironments; therefore, although its presence should be checked on a case-by-case basis, the main determining factor for the geotechnical study in Recas will be identifying areas of low-competence soils associated with the water masses and the variability of the local aquifers.
