Types of ground in Villafufre
In Villafufre, substrates of limestones, dolomites and marbles predominate, together with frequent outcrops of fine sands, silts and, to a lesser extent, sandstones, conglomerates and flysch. These rock formations, fundamentally carbonate, usually provide an adequate bearing capacity for foundations, especially if compact, unaltered zones are identified. However, the ancillary presence of gypsum, anhydrite and salts implies that there may be a risk of dissolution, which requires careful analysis before proceeding with the foundation works.
Seismicity in Villafufre is classified as notable, with 145 events in the last 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 4, which means the seismic influence must be assessed in the structural design procedures. In addition, the karstic nature of part of the substrate demands rigorous verification to rule out voids or unstable zones prior to any foundation work. The non-clayey substrate eliminates the risk of significant expansivity; the main focus is therefore on stability against karst processes and the dissolution of salts in soils.
Limestones, Dolomites and Marbles
karstic structures (caves, sinkholes, dolines) that pose the main geotechnical risk.

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:

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

Granite, gneiss and igneous rocks
Igneous and metamorphic rocks with very high mechanical strength. They form the most competent and stable substrate. They predominate in the Sistema Central, in Galicia, and in outcrops of the Hercyni

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).

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

Overconsolidated clays and marls (Duras)
Cohesive soils with a hard feel, sometimes with a rock-like appearance when dry (grey marls, pre-Pyrenean facies, deep Guadalquivir basin). They have a long history of geological compression in the pa
