Abstract

The objective of this work is to investigate the Giralda's typology and composition of its foundation, as well as the characteristics of the underlying foundation soil, coincident with the celebration of the 800 th anniversary of completing the muslin tower. The results of the investigation show us some important aspects as foundation deep, around 5 meters from the actual pavement; the existence of a small overwide in it; its composition made of calcarenite bedstone; the preparation of the support... In relation to the soil it has been fixed its bearing capacity; the abasements along the different phases in the tower's building and its time evolution; the differential abasement that justify the very small heeling and other soil characteristics, that explain the stability of this Universal Monument.
