Types of ground in Cadaqués
In Cadaqués, the subsurface is composed mainly of slate and schist, metamorphic materials that feature a laminated structure and low permeability. These characteristics, together with the coherence of the rock matrix, provide good bearing capacity and allow the use of shallow foundations for conventional buildings, although the presence of local fractures may require targeted analysis to avoid differential settlement.
Seismic activity in the area is very low, with a record of only two events in 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2.2, so seismicity does not represent a relevant constraint for structural design. Since the substratum is not clayey, there are no risks of expansiveness. The main factor to analyse in a geotechnical study in Cadaqués will be the discontinuity and orientation of the slate and schist, which can influence the ground’s stability and drainage.
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
