La restauración de la tapia monumental: Pasado, presente y futuro

Abstract

The growing interest in the study of earthen architecture developed in Europe in the late 1970s reached Spain at a later stage. As the interest in these historical earthen architecture structures grew, so did the number of restoration projects for monumental buildings originally constructed using the technique of rammed earth. As the interventions on earthen architecture in the Iberian Peninsula increased in the 1980s, these restorations are now relatively old. This research aims to have an overview the interventions carried out on rammed earth monumental buildings in Spain using national funds, through a global analysis of the most frequent pathologies found in these structures, the criteria adopted, the constructive techniques used, as well as the results obtained.
