Estudio geotécnico in Solana de los Barros

In Solana de los Barros, formations of sandstone, conglomerates and flysch predominate, complemented by deposits of gravel and compact sands. These materials usually exhibit good bearing capacity, allowing direct foundation solutions in many cases, although it is advisable to check the local consistency in the presence of fine sand layers, silts and rare outcrops of slate or schist. The low frequency of soils with limestone, dolomite and marble limits the constraints associated with differential settlement, and the presence of masses of water or shallow aquifers may affect the excavation or drainage methodology.

Seismicity in the municipality is very low, with a low recurrence of seismic events and a recorded maximum magnitude value that is very small (Mmax 2), which minimises the need for seismic adaptations in structural design. The non-clayey substrate rules out the risk of expansivity, substantially simplifying the selection of the foundation type. In short, the main geotechnical constraint will be linked to the local heterogeneity of the sedimentary materials and the occasional presence of shallow aquifers.
