Types of ground in Moraleja del Vino
In Moraleja del Vino, the dominant subsoil is composed of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, materials that represent more than 70% of the ground and provide good bearing capacity for conventional shallow foundations. Limestones, dolomites and marbles, present occasionally, together with compacted gravels and sands, improve ground stability and contribute to favourable behaviour under structural loads, allowing flexible options for direct foundation in most cases.
Local seismicity is high, with around 200 events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude (Mmax) of 4.5, so the structural design must incorporate seismic actions in accordance with current regulations. The absence of clayey soils rules out any risk associated with expansivity, and there is also no karst-related problem in the area. The main geotechnical constraint in Moraleja del Vino is the need to integrate earthquake-resistant criteria into the design of the foundations, given the municipality’s seismic records.
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
