A load-bearing wall is the most essential part of the confined masonry that makes up the most used composite construction system in the city of Metropolitan Lima, located in one of the areas with the highest seismic risk in Peru. Despite this, 80% of the homes are the product of informal self-construction, and have not been developed with adequate procedures, applying only simple masonry (non-load-bearing walls). The result of these actions is reflected in poor behavior of the walls in the face of ground movement such as earthquakes, which increases the possibility of the building's structures falling, putting not only the building at risk, but also the lives of many. . families. The present research proposes the application of coconut fiber to the traditional joint mortar with the purpose of improving the adhesion relationship between the mortar and the brick, obtaining a more resistant and durable masonry system in order to ensure the protection of families in Metropolitan Lima. In this sense, to determine the appropriate percentage of the most optimal coconut fiber, compression tests on mortar cubes, adhesion between bricks and compression on the diagonal cut of the wall were carried out. In this way, it was possible to evaluate to what extent the influence of the addition of coconut fiber in a traditional mortar affects its mechanical properties. Finally, a comparison of the results of the different dosages proposed in each of the trials was carried out. Demonstrating the identification of the most viable dosage to optimize the mechanical properties of the confined masonry system and in turn allowed an improvement in its behavior in the event of a telluric event, increasing the adhesion of the system by up to 52.36% compared to a mortar. traditional.
