    Metodología para elección de estabilizantes químicos para bloques de tierra
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2016-07) Guzmán, Sebastián; Iñiguez, Mateo
    The energy crisis in the 70's forced the countries around the world to look for ecological solutions that reduce the excessive energy consumption in the construction. As a result of that issue the construction systems based on soil reached notoriety. This paper tries to support the development of the earth construction contemplating mainly the environmental impact. Nowadays there are a large amount of chemical stabilizing products that can be used in earth constructions. However there are not enough papers that show a method to choose a chemical stabilizing for some specific conditions. This paper develops a methodology that could help to make an objective selection of a chemical stabilizing product based on a pondered qualification of parameters. These parameters are: compressive strength, impermeability, environmental impact and economy. Finally the methodology is tested in a region of Ecuador named Cuenca.
