Geotechnical study in Teverga

In Teverga, the subsoil is dominated by formations of limestones, dolomites and marbles, high-strength materials with low compressibility that favour a high bearing capacity for shallow foundations. Slates and schists appear occasionally, providing lower mechanical strength, while the fraction of deltaic silts and peats is reduced but significant; the latter soils must be ruled out as a support level due to their high compressibility and low load-bearing capacity.

The impact of karst processes on the carbonate subsoil requires specific verification before defining the foundation solution, since the presence of voids can substantially affect stability. Local seismicity is very low, with only 2 events over 30 years and a low maximum magnitude, so it does not constitute a relevant structural constraint. The absence of an clayey subsoil eliminates the risk of expansivity; control of the karst is the determining factor for the project’s viability.
