Estudio geotécnico in Bola, A

In Bola, the dominant geological substrate is made up of limestones, dolomites and marbles, which significantly affects the ground’s bearing capacity. These solid, compact materials usually provide a reliable foundation for shallow or semi-deep foundations. However, the presence of extensive and discontinuous aquifers can affect moisture at depth, so it is essential to assess the stability of the water table and its seasonal variability before defining the appropriate foundation type.

Seismicity in Bola shows high values, with around 200 events over 30 years and a maximum recorded magnitude of 5; this factor requires that seismic action be specifically considered in the structural design. The non-clayey substrate eliminates concern about expansivity, allowing a more simplified analysis in this respect. The main geotechnical constraint in the area is the seismic context, which calls for a design in accordance with the current regulations in earthquake-resistant engineering.
