JIMENEZ-MONTOYA, Adán et al. Soil and cement bricks with diverse reinforcements: A Review. Rev Politéc. (Quito) [online]. 2024, vol.53, n.2, pp.97-113. ISSN 2477-8990.  https://doi.org/10.33333/rp.vol53n2.10.

The objective of this work is to carry out a comparative analysis of researches related to the determination of physical-mechanical properties of construction units (adobe and bricks) made of soil, soil-cement, and concrete with various reinforcements, to provide an overview of procedures that could lead to the improvement of the performance of these construction units. The percentage variation of compressive, tensile, flexural strength, thermal insulation, density, and water absorption according to the type of reinforcement and base mortar is analyzed. The incorporation of cement as reinforcement seems to have the greatest effect on improving the compressive strength, plastics on thermal insulation, density, and water absorption, and vegetables on tensile strength.

Palavras-chave : Adobe; concrete; bricks; reinforcement; plastics; fibers.
