Estudio geotécnico in El Perelló

In El Perelló, a substrate consisting entirely of compacted gravels and sands predominates, which provides excellent behaviour from a geotechnical point of view. These types of soil usually exhibit high bearing capacity and notable homogeneity, favouring shallow foundation solutions such as strip footings or rafts, provided that adequate compaction is confirmed and the associated groundwater levels are taken into account in relation to the presence of possible intercalated superficial aquifers.

Seismicity in the municipality is classified as moderate, with 30 events every 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2.5, which limits the seismic requirements for structural design. The non-clayey substrate eliminates the risk of expansivity and there is no problem associated with karst processes. The main geotechnical constraint is related to the possible presence of superficial aquifers, so a correct investigation of the groundwater level is essential in any geotechnical study in El Perelló.
