Estudio geotécnico in Vinalesa

In Vinalesa, fine sands and silts predominate, reaching a significant frequency, complemented by the presence of gravels and compact sands. This composition provides a variable bearing capacity, where the thicker deposits offer better conditions for shallow foundations. The high permeability observed, associated with extensive and productive aquifers, requires particular attention to prevent washouts or material losses during excavation and the construction phase, as well as to control possible settlements.

Seismic activity in Vinalesa is moderate, with 27 events in the last 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 3.4, so the seismic influence on structural design is limited under the current regulations. The non-clayey substrate eliminates the risk of expansivity, and no karstification conditions are found in the area. The main conditioning aspect for the geotechnical study is the management of the high permeability, both in the design of foundations and in protection against hydrological effects.
