In the development of the document, the tests that were carried out to experimental populations according to Mexican standards are offered to demonstrate the quality of the material and demonstrate that it meets the highest standards. On the other hand, the use of natural stabilizers such as cactus mucilage and aloe vera is proposed as a sustainable stabilization alternative for CEB; Likewise, the use of lime as an ecological building material is considered, its properties and uses in land construction are exposed. Finally, an experimental housing designed with the studied technology is shown and where the economic and sustainable advantages of the use of the CEB, the mucilage and the lime are demonstrated, which will allow the reader to have a clear idea that these alternative materials are consider a sustainable possibility to build homes in Mexico. El presente libro pretende demostrar la viabilidad de la utilización de materiales alternativos de construcción, como es el caso de los Bloques de Tierra Comprimida (BTC). En el desarrollo del documento se ofrecen las pruebas que se realizaron a poblaciones experimentales según las normas mexicanas, para demostrar la calidad del material y demostrar que cumple con los más altos estándares. Por otr parte se plantea el uso de estabilizantes naturales como son el mucílago de nopal y el acíbar de sábila como una alternativa sustentable de estabilización para los BTC; asimismo se plantea el uso de la cal como material ecológico de construcción, se exponen sus propiedades y usos en la construcción con tierra. Por último se muestra una vivienda experimental diseñada con la tecnología estudiada y en donde se demuestran las ventajas económicas y sustentables del uso de los BTC, del mucílago y de la cal, lo cual permitirá al lector tener una idea clara de que estos materiales alternativos se consideran una posibilidad sustentable para edificar viviendas en México.
