Abstract

The earth construction is a constructive method that has been used over the millennia, it’s a methodology that applies from the periods before Christ and that comes in constant evolution. The main focus of the present work is the study of the waterproofing of compacted earth blocks, or ecological bricks, it’s a technology considered the evolution of adobe that aims to minimize the environmental impacts caused by the burning of combustible materials in the manufacture of traditional brick, in addition to reduce the amount of construction waste. It is a model that is concerned with sustainability and presents good savings when compared to the traditional model. The big problem of the blocks and all the earth construction are the high water absorption, so the research focuses on comparing two waterproofing products found in the local market in order to find out if they delivery what they promise and which one have the better results.
