ABSTRACT
This article intends to contribute for a better knowledge of earth-based repair mortars. An experimental campaign was conducted aimed at the development of earth-based mortars for the repair of rammed earth walls. It consisted of the following types of laboratory tests: (i) in the fresh state: determination of the consistence by flow table and bulk density; (ii) in the hardened state: linear and volumetric shrinkage; water absorption capillary coefficient; drying test; dynamic modulus of elasticity by measuring the fundamental resonance frequency; flexural and compressive strengths.
