Estudio geotécnico in Yuncler

In Yuncler, the predominant geological substrate is mainly composed of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, with a significant presence of limestones, dolomites and marbles. These materials generally offer good bearing capacity, favouring the use of shallow or semi-deep direct foundations, especially in areas with a higher proportion of sandstones and conglomerates. The existence of extensive aquifers and moderate permeability requires prior hydrological assessment, but, broadly speaking, the risk of encountering problematic soils is low, except in specific cases.

The municipality exhibits high seismicity, with 200 events in the last 30 years and a maximum recorded magnitude of 5.1, which makes it necessary to incorporate seismic design criteria into structural design. Although expansive clays are not predominant, their subordinate presence suggests a site-specific assessment of expansivity in specific interventions. In the absence of karst and with no significant risk of widespread expansive soils, seismicity is the main geotechnical constraint to consider in Yuncler.
