Estudio geotécnico in Sedaví

In Sedaví, compact gravels and sands predominate, representing 52.32% of the surface materials, which provides a high bearing capacity and favours conventional shallow foundations. Alongside them, white or soft expansive clays appear frequently (47.68%), although generally subordinate to the thicker strata; the presence of extensive aquifers and very permeable soils highlights the importance of checking long-term stability and groundwater levels before designing foundation solutions.

Seismic activity in Sedaví is very low, with only one recorded event every 30 years and a maximum magnitude Mmax of 1.8, which rules out the need for seismic reinforcement in structural design. Although expansive clays exist, the data indicate that their distribution is secondary or they occur in areas without a significant water deficit, minimising the risk of expansivity for the foundation. The main constraint is therefore linked to appropriate identification of the position and thickness of the gravel and sand layers in relation to potential clayey facies at the specific site.
