Types of ground in Creixell
In Creixell, the predominant substrate consists of limestones, dolomites and marbles, together with compact gravels and sands, which provides competent soils with good bearing capacities for shallow or semi-deep foundations. However, the occasional presence of deltaic silts and peats recommends avoiding these materials as a supporting base due to their low strength. Additionally, the occurrence of gypsum, anhydrite and salts raises potential dissolution problems, which must be taken into account during geotechnical investigations prior to the design of foundations.
The seismicity in Creixell is very low, with only 6 events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2.1, so it does not represent a noteworthy constraint for structural design. However, the potential development of karst processes in the carbonate substrate requires a detailed verification of the presence of cavities or sinkholes before carrying out any foundation. As it is a non-clayey substrate, the risk of expansivity is ruled out, with control of the karst being the main geotechnical constraint in the area.
Limestones, Dolomites and Marbles
karstic structures (caves, sinkholes, dolines) that pose the main geotechnical risk.

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

Fangy clays and peats (Deltaic)
Soils from the Holocene period, unconsolidated, flowing muds, black in colour with a very strong organic component, sometimes in the form of pure rotting vegetable matter (peat bogs). The mud compress

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:

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).
