Eco-friendly modification of earthen construction with carrageenan: Water durability and mechanical assessment

J Nakamatsu, S Kim, J Ayarza, E Ramírez… - … and Building Materials, 2017 - Elsevier
Carrageenan, a biodegradable natural polymer, was evaluated as a bioadditive to improve
the physical and mechanical properties of adobe constructions. The results show that its
incorporation in the mixture during blocks fabrication, or as a coating in existent earth
constructions, positively modify their behavior providing water impermeability and resistance
to erosion by water drops. Results of mechanical tests also show a considerable
enhancement in compressive and tensile strength when the bioadditive is incorporated …
