Mejoramiento de revoque a base de arcilla, aplicable en muros de adobe y mampostería de ladrillo

Abstract

This investigation presents a proposal of improvement of clay based plasters, through natural additives, such as nopal and cadillo and use of industrial products like synthetic resin( white tail), the analysis of clays suitable for plaster, was done through laboratory tests, to find solutions to the problems of deterioration of existing plaster today. Knowing further the advantages and disadvantages that clays offer aroused great interest in the present which has been the basis to innovate and improve the features currently present in how their behavior in water, wind , air, results in resistance to landslides, wicking, and erosion , therefore the study of the behavior of these stabilized clay composites, where the analysis and experimentation is essential intends to carry out the development and practice to check its application in test homes and verify the quality of plaster created for brick and adobe walls .
