Types of ground in La Pobla de Claramunt
In La Pobla de Claramunt, deposits of compacted gravels and sands predominate, representing 75% of the soils, followed by formations of shales and schists in smaller proportion. These characteristics generally favour good bearing capacity for shallow foundations, although the relative impermeability of these materials may involve some presence of shallow aquifers. Nevertheless, the possible local presence of expansive clays in some areas should be assessed in locations with climatic conditions that could activate this risk, although overall the surrounding environment attenuates its impact.
The municipality’s seismic activity is very low, with only 5 events in 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 1.6, indicating that seismicity is not a relevant constraint for structural design. However, given the presence of karst in the ground, it is essential to carry out specific checks on cavities or dissolution processes before carrying out any type of foundation, as this aspect may be the main geotechnical constraint for projects in the area.
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

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
