Estudio geotécnico in L'Aleixar

In L'Aleixar, soils predominate that are formed by slates and schists, metamorphic materials of medium to high consolidation that provide good bearing capacity values. These soils offer favourable conditions for shallow foundations, although it is advisable to characterise the local stratigraphy due to the possible presence of extensive but discontinuous aquifers, which may influence the optimum choice of foundation type and depth.

Seismic activity in the area is moderate, with approximately 30 events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2.5, so the seismic influence on structures is limited. Since the substratum is non-clayey, any relevant concern associated with expansivity is ruled out. In short, the main geotechnical constraint in L'Aleixar lies in the proper characterisation of the slates and schists and in the management of potential local aquifers.
