This work was developed based on the recent Guide for the Planning and Execution of Geotechnical Studies for Building Projects in the Canary Islands (Spain), GETCAN-011. The Canary Archipelago geology is dominated almost entirely by a succession of volcanic materials and structures. The guide articulates the basic appropriate methodology for planning of geotechnical prospecting in building projects and for conducting geotechnical studies, in accordance with current regulations and volcanic terrains. Once the type of woodard building and type of terrain is defined, guide criteria have to be applied to determine the minimum intensity and extent of the field exploration activities. The minimum depth for surveys is established by taking into account the peculiarities and problems associated with each of the geotechnical units and the type of building. As a result of this work, a geotechnical map of the Canary Archipelago at a scale of 1:25,000 has also been generated. This is now available on-line for building designers and urban planners to consult. Given that almost all the volcanic materials of the planet can be found in the Canary Islands, this guide could be of potential applicable use for other areas of volcanic origin. | |
