Abstract

This work aimed to assess the compressive strength of traditional adobe and adobe by adding zeolite as a complement to clay to prolong the useful life of the clayey sedimentary deposits in the area and thus potentiate new zeolite deposits. The work began with elaborating test tubes with specific dimensions for traditional adobe and adobe with complementary percentages of zeolite in 25% and 50%. To assess the compressive strength of these elements, 12 test tubes from each of the groups were made, test tubes with approximate dimensions of 5x5x10 cm, and they were subjected to the respective test with the appropriate equipment. The results present values that must be considered and concluded with recommendations to help improve certain aspects of the studied elements.
