Types of ground in Monforte del Cid
In Monforte del Cid, ground conditions are predominantly formed by sandstones, conglomerates and flysch formations, accompanied to a lesser extent by limestones, dolomites and marbles. This type of soil generally offers good bearing capacity for foundations, enabling direct solutions on competent substrata. However, the sporadic presence of fine sands and silts requires specific assessment, as these materials provide lower stability for supporting structures.
Local seismicity is very low, with only 5 events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2, which implies a low seismic risk. However, the existence of karstic ground derived from limestones and dolomites makes it necessary to verify in detail the presence or activity of karst before carrying out any foundation work, as the associated voids and dissolution processes can compromise stability. In addition, the absence of clayey substrata eliminates the risk of shrink-swell (expansivity) in the area. The main technical consideration when carrying out a geotechnical study in the municipality is the possible impact of karst processes in the carbonate zones.
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:
