Types of ground in Cascante
In Cascante, the predominant lithology is composed of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, accompanied by significant proportions of fine sands, silts and compacted gravels. This composition provides soils with good bearing capacity, suitable for various types of shallow foundations. The occasional presence of gypsum, anhydrite and salts implies a potential risk of dissolution, which should be assessed especially in localised sectors to prevent unexpected differential settlements in the infrastructure.
Seismic activity in Cascante is very low, with only 5 events recorded in the last 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 3.2, ruling out seismicity as a relevant structural conditioning factor. The absence of clayey substrata also eliminates the risk of expansiveness, and the area shows no karst development. Overall, the main factor to monitor is the localised presence of gypsum and salts, whose interaction with groundwater may affect the durability of the foundation.
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

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

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).
