Adobe is a construction material that is weak against rainfall because it is not designed for constant exposure to water. This problem was identified in the district of Cocharcas, province of Chincheros, department of Apurimac, due to the high density of adobe houses affected by weathering in the area. For this reason, an adobe was designed with a 10%, 16% and 22% dosage of nopal mucilage, and at the same time a 1% dosage of chicken feather fibers. A total of 16 blocks were made to evaluate the percentage of water absorption and erosion resistance; and 8 adobe cubes were made for simple compression tests. The results for the compression test for the adobe blocks of the proposal were 10.4 kgf/cm2, 11.1 kgf/cm2 and 11.8 kgf/cm2, exceeding the minimum standard strength and that obtained in the conventional adobe. Likewise, for the absorption test, a percentage decrease was obtained for the samples of the proposal compared to the conventional adobe, which were 3.74%, 7.01% and 11.62%. Finally, as a result of the erosion test, it was determined that the adobe samples of the proposal obtained penetration depths of 6.26 mm, 5.68 mm and 5.21 mm, which were lower than those of the conventional adobe. Therefore, the addition of both stabilizers improved both the mechanical resistance and reduced the permeability of adobe for the construction of houses in areas with low water content.
