Types of ground in Province of Granada
The province of Granada exhibits notable geotechnical diversity, characterised by the presence of clayey soils in the Vega de Granada and calcareous ground in the Alhama and Montefrío districts. On the Costa Tropical, sandy soil predominates, while in the Alpujarra there are schist formations. These geological profiles vary significantly in terms of stability and strength, which are critical factors in planning geotechnical studies for safe and efficient construction.
The mountainous relief of Sierra Nevada, with high-slope soils and an erosion risk, contrasts with the more stable areas of the Guadix-Baza Depression, where sedimentary soils provide more favourable conditions for structural developments. The identification and analysis of these characteristics are essential for designing suitable foundations, ensuring the viability of infrastructures according to the type of ground.
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).
