Estudio geotécnico in La Guijarrosa

In La Guijarrosa sandstones, conglomerates and flysch predominate, materials that generally provide good bearing capacity for the foundations of buildings. These soils, with high permeability and connected to productive aquifers, facilitate the infiltration of water, which may positively influence the stability of shallow foundations, although a detailed study of their compaction and local strength will be essential.

Seismic activity is notable, with 54 events in the last 30 years and a maximum recorded magnitude of 4.6, so the seismic analysis must be integrated into the structural design. In addition, since there is a risk of karstification, it is essential to verify the presence of cavities or dissolutions before any foundation work. The absence of clayey soils eliminates the risk of expansivity, with the main limiting factor being the possible existence of karst phenomena together with local seismicity.
