Types of ground in Villatuerta
In Villatuerta, the dominant bedrock is mainly composed of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, which provides a solid and favourable foundation for the setting of structures. The occasional presence of fine sands and silts may require some caution in design, while the existence of outcrops of gypsum, anhydrite and salts indicates the need to assess the risk of dissolution in specific areas. Extensive and highly permeable aquifers increase the importance of studying drainage and ground stability properly in the geotechnical assessment prior to any works.
The seismicity in Villatuerta is considered to be very low, with only 5 events over 30 years and a low maximum magnitude (Mmax 2.4), and therefore does not constitute a factor of particular concern in structural design. The non-clayey substrate rules out the risk of expansiveness. However, the possible presence of karst in the surrounding area makes it necessary to verify its existence and characteristics before carrying out any foundations, as it represents the main geotechnical constraint for the feasibility and safety of the structures.
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:

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).
