Abstract

The use of earth as a building material is spread in a great part of the architectural heritage of the Autonomous Community of Madrid, especially in the southern region, it appears in different usages and building methods like rammed earth, adobe or filled wood frame structures. The need of maintenance and preservation of this heritage justify the convenience of research on new techniques and materials applicable to restoration works. This paper aims to offer a view on the particularities of rammed earth (tapial), predominant in this region, and show the studies carried out on the architectural heritage as well as the targets, methodology and results of the research works developed to analyze the use of new products to consolidate rammed earth walls. The work has been carried out conjunctly by members of the Department of Construction of the Polytechnic University of Madrid and the ONGD Interaction.
