Estudio geotécnico in El Real de la Jara

In El Real de la Jara, the dominant subsoil is composed of granite, gneiss and other highly resistant igneous rocks, which represents the most frequent geotechnical material in the area. These formations have a high bearing capacity and a degree of compaction that allows straightforward foundation solutions to be considered, significantly reducing the risks of differential settlement. Their low permeability means that water infiltration is limited, although small localised superficial aquifers may appear associated with fractures or zones of alteration within the bedrock mass.

Seismicity in El Real de la Jara is very low, recording only one event in the last 30 years and with a maximum magnitude of 1.7, so it does not represent a relevant consideration in structural design. Given the absence of karst and the non-clayey nature of the subsoil, any risk associated with ground expansiveness is ruled out. The main geotechnical constraint in this municipality lies in the adequate characterisation of the bedrock mass and the identification of altered or fractured zones that could affect the uniformity of the foundation.
