description The building technique known as rammed earth has been used in Australian civil construction for decades. This practice, used in various regions of Australia, has brought with it important technical improvements to the execution of Stabilized Rammed Earth (SRE) buildings. This study highlights some of those advances in terms of construction details, composition, special cares during execution, the use of formwork, and construction pathologies, however, these can be considered and incorporated into the traditional (unstabilized) rammed earth technique. This article aims to inform and update professionals and students about the evolving technology of using earth as the main building material, providing relevant information about its contemporary production. It aims to share design and building insights that may enrich the knowledge around the limits and needs of the SRE, and to contribute to the research of its productive chain, from the supply of raw materials to maintenance. By acquiring the knowledge produced so far regarding this technique, it is possible to break free from preconceptions and misconceptions about the earth as a building material. Part of this knowledge is hereby analyzed and shared, to contribute of the dissemination of the use of the Stabilised Rammed Earth technique.

La técnica constructiva de tapia pisada que se realiza desde hace siglos en diversos países, está presente en Australia hace décadas. En este país, las construcciones en tapia pisada ya presentan avances técnicos importantes para la ejecución de obras en tapia, siendo destacados en este estudio algunos avances relacionados con detalles constructivos: rasgos del material, cuidados en la ejecución, montaje de las cimbras y patologías de la construcción, que pueden ser propias o investigadas para la tapia pisada convencional. El presente artículo tiene por objetivo informar y actualizar a los profesionales y estudiantes sobre una tecnología en desarrollo que hace uso de la tierra como su principal material de construcción, a través de información relevante para la producción contemporánea de construcciones en tierra. Se pretende compartir experiencias constructivas y proyectuales que puedan ser útiles en la ampliación del conocimiento sobre los límites y las necesidades constructivas, para –de este modo– contribuir a la investigación sobre su cadena productiva, desde el abastecimiento del material hasta su mantenimiento. A través de una relativa acumulación de conocimiento producida hasta hoy sobre la técnica en cuestión, es posible romper con algunos preconceptos o distorsiones sobre el uso de la tierra como material de construcción civil. Parte de ese conocimiento y experiencia es aquí compartido con la intención de contribuir a la divulgación acerca del uso de la tapia pisada contemporánea. 2021-11-10T01:00:36Z 2021-11-10T01:00:36Z 2019-11-25 Artículo revisado por pares info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85 http://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/166 10.54104/nodo.v14n27.166 http://repositorio.uan.edu.co/handle/123456789/5636 spa http://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/166/135 Acceso abierto Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2 application/pdf Universidad Antonio Nariño 2346-092X 1909-3888 10.54104/nodo.v14n27 REVISTA NODO; Vol. 14 Núm. 27 (2019); 63 - 72
