Earth is one of the most abundant and accessible materials used by the rural population of the world for the construction of houses, which are mainly adobes and mud walls. Peru is not the exception, since it is low cost and easy to prepare. However, this material shows a very low resistance to compression and bending and almost no tensile strength, it also deteriorates rapidly due to external agents such as humidity, erosion, corrosion, among others. In the world, research has been developing in order to improve the mechanical and physical properties of adobe. In Peru we have a norm dedicated to the design and construction with reinforced earth (National Building Regulations). In this standard we can find the minimum conditions that the adobe must have in order to have an optimal behavior as a construction material. However, the adobe manufactured in the southern highlands of Peru does not reach the minimum resistance, which is why the addition of natural fibers is proposed in order to improve their properties. The purpose of this research is to find the optimum percentage of Cabuya fiber addition in the adobe elaboration to improve its mechanical properties in the city of Abancay, Department of Apurímac. Cabuya fiber was added in adobe units with straw with different percentages. The percentage of fiber addition of 1.75% resulted in a 40% and 12% increase in compressive and flexural strength, respectively.
