Resumo(s): | Earthen construction is one of the world’s oldest and most popular construction methods, and it is still the target of prejudice due to the loss of ancestral knowledge. Due to the need for more effective and healthy building solutions, this study conducted a survey to determine the interest and knowledge of construction professionals regarding sustainable and natural materials and building techniques to understand how open these professionals are to changes in their working methods and if they identify urgency in that change. With the intent of proving the durability of earthen construction materials, laboratory research was developed which involved the preparation and performance evaluation of samples of earthen elements from the most-used techniques: rammed earth and compressed earth blocks. This evaluation was performed using the accelerated erosion test, simulating periods of rainfall and drying, and the post-test loss of resistance was also evaluated. According to the results obtained from the research survey, there is a predominant lack of knowledge about earthen construction and other traditional and sustainable materials. On the other hand, the experiments demonstrated that earthen construction can be durable when using either a small percentage of stabilizing material or a covering plaster. |
