Abstract

The focus of this titration research was directed towards the fabrication of slaked lime mortar specimens, in which nopal mucilage was incorporated in different percentages of substitution of the cementitious agent (5%, 10% and 20%) and curing times (28, 56 and 90 days). In addition, to establish a comparison, standard specimens were manufactured using silica sand from Ottawa and others with sand from the Pifo mine. These specimens were subjected to a series of exhaustive tests, including simple compression, durability against environmental factors, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and mineralogical and chemical characterization. In addition, fresh flow testing was carried out, dry mortar density was calculated, and cracking measurements were performed after exposure to weathering. All these processes were carried out following the guidelines established by INEN and ASTM to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results. The findings of this work provide valuable information on the characteristics and behavior of slaked lime mortars that have been enriched with nopal mucilage in comparison with standard specimens with different types of sand. Relevant results show that the simple compressive strength of the mortars elaborated with nopal mucilage is superior to the results of the standard mortars elaborated with Ottawa standardized sand at 90 days of curing. In addition, it was determined that the cracking measure in the mortars decreases proportionally to the increase in the percentage of nopal mucilage.
