Estudio geotécnico in La Secuita

In La Secuita, overconsolidated clays and marls of great hardness predominate, which translates into firm ground with bearing capacities suitable for building. These formations, with low permeability, minimise the risk of differential settlement and substantially reduce water infiltration, which favours a conventional and safe foundation.

With regard to geotechnical risks, local seismicity is moderate, with 30 events every 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2,5, so no special structural measures are required. The non-clayey substratum removes the risk of expansivity, allowing greater flexibility in the design of the foundation. As the main constraint, the possibility of shallow aquifers should be assessed, although the generally low permeability limits their impact.
