Adobe masonry is one of the oldest construction systems still in use today, Mexico has an enormous cultural heritage with traditional adobe houses being very representative of the rural communities and their culture. The 2017 Puebla Earthquake on September 19th struck the country causing the loss, destruction, and damage of historic buildings in se...
Materials play a fundamental role in any branch of civil engineering. From ancient times to the present day, society has required enormous amounts of construction materials, which implies an excessive exploitation of the natural environment. The present research work consisted in the design and development of asphalt mixes with a partial substituti...
The present research work shows the effect on the carbonation of Portland cement-based
mortars (PC) with the addition of green materials, specifically residues from two groups: agricultural
and industrial wastes, and minerals and fibres. These materials have the purpose of helping with the
waste disposal, recycling, and improving the durability of...
El presente trabajo de investigación muestra los avances realizados a partir del proyecto DBMC 2020 en el estado de Michoacán, México, respecto al estudio y análisis de la vivienda vernácula y el patrimonio arquitectónico monumental de la región. A partir de una metodología interdisciplinar de estudio se combinaron el trabajo de campo en comunidade...
Se analizaron modificaciones presentadas por distintos estabilizadores (cal, cemento, fibra de nopal, líticos de río, líticos volcánicos, sulfato de sodio y yeso) en propiedades y envolvente de falla de un suelo arcilloso natural remoldeado de Santiago Undameo, en Michoacán, México. Al suelo arcilloso se le realizó granulometría, hidrometría, prueb...
This research focuses on the addition of an ecological, sustainable material to improve the durability of earthen constructions and for use in rehabilitation and restoration processes. Specifically, it studies the mechanical and waterproof performance of an earthen mixture with the addition of a vegetal origin gel (VOG) obtained by extracting the s...
Earthen architecture is one of the oldest construction solutions known, with archaeological evidences as ancient as the first human settlements. Nevertheless, in the last decades, adobe constructions have been abandoned and severely modified, been displaced by the use of industrial materials like concrete blocks and ceramic bricks. The importance o...
Slaked lime is traditionally a suitable material for use in construction activities in historic and traditional buildings whose constitutive characteristics demand compatible and appropriate material solutions. Therefore, knowing the physical and mechanical characterization of lime pastes and mortars for use in restoration is considered an importan...
The State of Michoacan has a wide and rich architectural heritage which is represented by different vernacular typologies which employ different materials and techniques according to the local resources. However, this wide knowledge and cultural heritage are disappearing, with several monuments and buildings being abandoned due to new dynamics and...
The abandonment of earthen architecture in Mexico, exemplified with the traditional adobe house, the most representative typology in the country, is an overwhelming phenomenon which we are trying to turn back due to the sustainable potential of these dwellings and their important cultural legacy. On the other hand, the seismic vulnerability of thes...
La estabilización de suelos arcillosos con cal fue una técnica usada en civilizaciones antiguas para hacer caminos y pisos en edificios, debido a que se modificaba era más trabajable, se obtenía más dureza, y contribuía a la higiene. Actualmente existen diversos tipos de cales en el mercado, la más conocida es la cal de construcción es la que se ut...
En el ámbito de la construcción de tierra, se tienen como antecedentes estructuras y conjuntos de gran antigüedad, que forman parte del patrimonio cultural; también se encuentra todos ls tipos vernáculas, para la edificación de viviendas con materiales tradicionales y disponibles en el contexto local. Hoy en día se tiene por correcta la apreciación...
The 2017 Puebla Earthquake on September 19 struck a big part of México causing the loss of historic buildings in several states, being the state of Morelos one of the most damaged in the whole country. Jojutla de Juarez was the most affected locality of Morelos presenting important structural damages or total collapse in the built heritage, being t...
ABSTRACT: Adobe dwellings are the most representative constructive typologies of the traditional architecture and local culture of Mexico. In the last decades, these systems have been abandoned and displaced by modern materials and techniques, a situation enhanced by the recent seismic events, especially the ones which struck the country in 2017. T...
In the restoration field and the cultural heritage, the treatment of colour is very important, being an important factor for the decisions and interventions in historic buildings. However, some of these have not the same recognition and protection by authorities, being really vulnerable, especially against natural phenomena like the earthquakes. Af...
Restoration works for the cultural heritage in México have commonly used traditional materials, being the slake lime one of the main solutions employed. Nevertheless, other lime products have not been studied or applied in patrimonial works. The main objective of this research was to verify if high purity limes can be used as an alternative for res...
The 2017 Puebla Earthquake on 19 September struck a big part of central Mexico causing the loss of historic buildings in several states, being the state of Morelos one of the most damaged in the whole country. Jojutla de Juarez was the most affected locality of Morelos presenting important structural damages or total collapse in the built heritage,...
Limestone is one of the most ancient construction materials that exist, however it has become obsolete over the last decades, being replaced by industrial materials like cement. It must be considered that not only the construction lime can be used in works, but the limestone industry can provide other products like high purity lies The research abo...
La estabilización de suelos con cal fue una técnica utilizada por civilizaciones prehispánicas para la consolidación de los pisos de vías públicas, y en años recientes se ha perdido el uso por la llegada del cemento desplazando este sistema constructivo a base de tierra. En los últimos años las investigaciones de la cal han comenzado a tener mayor...

Project (1)
This project pretends to study, understand, learn from, and reappraise vernacular architecture collaborating with the local communities of Michoacan, Mexico.
With the identification, analysis and and study of the traditional construction techniques and local materials, we pretend to disseminate the results of our research with the local communities in order to raise awareness of the importance of the vernacular materials and techniques.
