Behaviour of the dumped soil

Research and analysis of the concepts of the construction of monolithic walls with poured earth, capable of withstanding mechanical compressive forces. This technique uses components from the physico-chemical properties of the soil called Champayán from the city of Altamira Tamaulipas. Currently, various soil components and stabilizers, additives such as inorganic and organic fibers, biopolymers or cactaceous mucilages are used to improve physical-mechanical properties and increase resistance to compression. This work shows that in nature there are several polymeric and polysaccharide materials that can be used in construction with earth, showing results obtained in terms of mechanical resistance to compression of mixtures stabilized with xanthan gum obtained by means of the bacterium xanthomonas campestris, to reduce the amount of Portland cement and obtain similar results, as well as dosages with other stabilizers. Four models of three test tubes each were made, prepared separately by adding the corresponding stabilizer to the soil.
