Types of ground in Alcañices
In the municipality of Alcañices, the dominant geological substratum is composed almost entirely of slates and schists, providing a dense, very compact ground with low permeability. These materials favour favourable conditions for shallow foundation, thanks to their high bearing capacity and low risk of differential settlement, although they may contain superficial aquifers at some isolated points due to local fracturing.
The seismicity recorded in the area is high, with 200 events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 4.5, which makes it necessary to consider seismic risk in the structural design of buildings. Since the substratum is not clayey, there is no risk of expansiveness that could affect foundations. The main geotechnical constraint in Alcañices lies in controlling the ground’s seismic response during the execution of the project.
Phyllites and schists
Metamorphic rocks characterised by their foliation (parallel planes of weakness or slaty cleavage). Very common in Galicia, Asturias, the north of León, Extremadura and Sierra Morena. They are highly
