Masonry is the most widely used construction system in the city of Metropolitan Lima, which is located in an area with high seismic risk. However, many of the homes that follow this system do not develop it with adequate reinforcements, only simple masonry (without confinement). These have a bad behavior before seismic events and the probability that they will crack or even fail is high, putting at risk not only the building, but also the lives of many families. The present research proposes the application of polypropylene fibers to the joint mortar in order to improve the adhesion between the mortar and the brick, obtaining a more resistant and durable masonry system at a low cost so that most families can use it. . To determine the appropriate percentage of polypropylene fibers to apply to the mixture, different tests were carried out on their properties in the dry and hardened state. Finally, with the mixture with the best performance, brick walls and piles were developed to observe its behavior before diagonal compression and its adhesion capacity to finally compare it with a mortar mixture without fibers that was subjected to the same tests. Proving in this way that the proposed reinforcement improves the mechanical properties of the masonry system and in turn allows it to have a better behavior in the event of an earthquake, improving the adherence of the system by up to 75% compared to a conventional mortar.
