Estudio geotécnico in Riudarenes

In Riudarenes, granite, gneiss and other igneous rocks predominate, providing a solid foundation with high bearing capacity, suitable for shallow or deep footings depending on the topography. To a lesser extent, there are compact gravels and sands, which allow for conventional foundation design provided that adequate compaction is ensured. Sandstones and conglomerates are infrequent, so they have limited influence on the choice of structural support system.

Seismicity in this municipality is moderate, with 37 events recorded over the last 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 3.9, which implies the inclusion of certain seismic safety measures without reaching stringent structural requirements. There is no presence of karst or risks associated with expansiveness, as the dominant substrate is not clayey, ruling out swelling problems. The main technical constraint is the quality of the rock mass and control of near-surface permeability.
