Abstract
The use of the earth as a construction material has been carried out all
over the world, in walls, ramparts, fortifications. For this reason, research of this
type is necessary to implement current techniques in the restoration of rammed earth
constructions with the rammed earth technique. In addition, it can be used for the
construction of new works for both walls and cladding. The research of the earth as
a construction material is presented here through the characterization of the earth
itself, in this case, edaphic soils from the weathering of the Alhambra Formation
(Spain), and its mixtures with aerial or hydraulic limes and cement of low resistance.
In addition, natural or recycled aggregates and additives such as water repellents and
ecological enzymes, to replace binders, and additions of powder rubber and textile
from used tire waste have been used. The results obtained in all the mixtures, except
the one added with rubber and textile powder, are ideal for use in restoration of earth
works and new construction, placed on site using the projected earth system.
