Types of ground in Alcorisa
In Alcorisa, soils formed by gypsum, anhydrite and salts stand out, accounting for approximately 44% of the substrate, occasionally accompanied by limestones and dolomites, as well as sandstones and conglomerates. The gypsum-bearing materials present risks of dissolution, which can affect the stability and bearing capacity of foundations. Due to the low permeability of these formations, it is essential to carry out a detailed geotechnical study to identify safe support zones and avoid possible differential settlements in the ground.
Seismicity in Alcorisa is moderate, with 13 events in the last 30 years and a maximum recorded magnitude of 2.1, so its impact on structural design is limited. Given the geological setting, the presence of karst associated with gypsum and limestones requires prior verification of the existence of cavities before any foundation work. In addition, the non-clayey substrate removes the risk of expansivity. The main precaution to consider in the area is related to dissolution phenomena and possible sinkholes due to the soluble nature of the predominant material.
Gypsum, Anhydrite and Salts
Chemically formed sedimentary rocks produced by the precipitation of minerals dissolved in closed basins. Gypsum predominates (calcium sulphate) and, to a lesser extent, anhydrite and salts (halite).

Limestones, Dolomites and Marbles
karstic structures (caves, sinkholes, dolines) that pose the main geotechnical risk.

Sandstones, Conglomerates and Flysch
Sedimentary rocks formed by the cementation of fragments of other pre-existing rocks. They include sandstones (cemented sand), conglomerates (cemented gravels) and the rhythmic alternation of sandston
