Estudio geotécnico in Tables

In the municipality of Cuadros, sandstones, conglomerates and flysch predominate, accompanied in significant proportions by gravels, compacted sands and stretches of fine sands with silts. These materials, for the most part, show good mechanical performance and a high bearing capacity, favouring shallow foundation solutions across most of the area. The widespread permeability of these aquifers, which are extensive and highly productive, ensures rapid drainage of water, although it is essential to control the groundwater level and the possible risk of internal erosion in the event of deep foundations.

Seismicity in Cuadros is very low, with only 2 events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 1.5, which makes it possible to rule out significant design restrictions for structural purposes for this reason. There are no notable karst phenomena or associated risk of significant clay expansion, since these occur subordinately and in environments without any marked water deficit. The main factor to consider in the geotechnical study in Cuadros will be ensuring stability against possible variations in the level of the groundwater table and selecting the most competent support level.
