Types of ground in Guijuelo
In Guijuelo, the predominant subsoil consists of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, followed by granite, gneiss and other igneous rocks, which indicates a fundamentally hard and competent foundation for construction. These materials usually provide a high bearing capacity, facilitating shallow foundation solutions in most cases. The occasional presence of compact gravel and sand may offer additional advantages for the settlement of foundations, while the low proportion of water masses scarcely affects the works, except for localised studies.
Seismicity in the municipality is very low, with barely a single recorded event in the last three decades and a maximum magnitude of 1.5; therefore, seismic constraints do not affect structural design. As no predominant clayey soils are recorded, the risk of expansivity is ruled out in this area. Consequently, the main constraint for the geotechnical study in Guijuelo lies in the adequate characterisation of the rock mass in order to optimise the design of foundations adapted to the local ground strength and permeability.
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
