This research is focused on the use of cabuya and cactus mucilage as stabilizing agents in adobe bricks to improve their mechanical properties and water resistance. Adobe constructions show cracks as a result of the disintegration generated by contact with water, which is why they lose their mechanical capacity and durability. In the research, a fixed dosage of 18% cactus mucilage was used and different dosages of cabuya fiber were tested to determine the ideal dosage of cabuya that does not affect workability and improves its mechanical properties and water resistance. To evaluate the benefits, they were compared with traditional adobes, these samples were made with sifted soil and loose soil, and these results were compared with those of other authors. For the validation of this research, several tests were carried out in the field and in the laboratory. The compression tests determined that the ideal dosage is achieved with 2% incorporation of cabuya fiber. The adobe stabilized with cactus mucilage together with the ideal dosage of cabuya fiber with sieved soil achieved an increase of 41.62% in compressive strength; 106.48% in compressive strength of the wall; 14.93% in tensile strength of the mortar and 17.38% more in flexural strength, in addition, it was possible to obtain moderate damage in immersion; reduce absorption to 21.56% and only obtain 2% in the damage produced by the water jet. All results were measured with respect to traditional unscreened adobe.
