Purpose

The construction problems derived from the expansiveness of clay soils can be significant and directly affect the integrity of buildings and certain infrastructures. Spain, due to its climatic conditions and geological characteristics, is a country where this type of phenomenon constitutes a real threat. The 1:1,000,000 scale Predictive Map of Expansive Clay Hazards in Spain, in addition to constituting an inventory of spatial distribution, has been drawn up as a first-order reference for territorial planning at national and regional level in terms of geological/geotechnical risks, providing an effective approximation for more detailed studies.

Specific usage

It is a national map, at a scale of 1:1,000,000, so its use is limited by the scale. It should be used for national planning as an approximation for regional studies related to recent and current geological dynamics, research and territorial planning.

Description

Spatial distribution of cartographic units differentiated by their characteristics and constructive conditions determined on the basis of the lithological composition of the materials, their hydrogeological properties and geomorphological nature. It also includes a zoning or division into homogeneous units based on lithology, stability, bearing capacity and other mechanical and geotechnical properties.
