Types of ground in Barañáin/Barañain
In Barañáin, outcrops of limestones, dolomites and marbles predominate, forming a dominant rocky substrate, accompanied by secondary deposits of fine sands and silts. This geological context implies a generally high bearing capacity, suitable for shallow foundations on rock, whereas areas with fine sediments require specific studies to determine the degree of compaction and the mechanical properties. Occasionally, compact gravels and sands are also identified, which are optimal for superficial supports, although the presence of shallow aquifer layers calls for caution in managing groundwater during construction.
Seismicity in Barañáin is significant, with more than 150 recorded events and a maximum magnitude (Mmax) of 5.2, which makes it essential to consider seismic actions in structural design. The risk of expansivity is inherent to the possible presence of dispersed non-expansive clays, so their distribution must be assessed in the detailed studies. The main constraint in this locality is determined by both seismic activity and the correct characterisation of zones with fine sediments, to ensure the safety and stability of the foundations.
Limestones, Dolomites and Marbles
karstic structures (caves, sinkholes, dolines) that pose the main geotechnical risk.

Fine sands and silts
Fine to very fine granular soils with medium to loose compacity. Typical of floodplains and coastlines. Although they can support light buildings, they are treacherous soils linked to water processes:

Compact gravels and sands
High-compacity granular deposits, typically associated with old fluvial terraces (Ebro, Duero, Tajo, Guadalquivir rivers) and Pleistocene glacis. They have no cohesion (they are not clays) but their a
