Estudio geotécnico in Yeste

The subsoil in Yeste is for the most part composed of limestones, dolomites and marbles, accounting for approximately 59% of the prevailing soils. These materials, with high bearing capacity and hardness, enable a relatively stable foundation, although the specific characteristics must be considered in accordance with the construction project. The presence of impermeable formations or low permeability promotes the development of shallow aquifers, which can influence ground stability during the works.

With regard to geotechnical constraints, Yeste shows moderate seismicity with 28 events over 30 years and an Mmax of 3.2, which must be incorporated into the structural design. The ground presents significant karst that requires thorough verification before proceeding with foundations, and the absence of expansive clays reduces risks related to expansivity. The presence of gypsum, anhydrite and salts implies that possible dissolutions must be assessed, as they may affect ground stability.
