Indeed, earth is an ecological and economically efficient material that can also contribute to increase indoor comfort.\n\nHowever, earth mortars have a limitation: their susceptibility to water. In order to implement a more comprehensive use in indoor and outdoor environments, where there may be contact with water, the inclusion of stabilizing agents has been studied. This article presents a critical literature review of the effect of the most common stabilizers used in earth mortars, specifically: vegetable fibres; binders such as calcium sulfates, air limes and limes with hydraulic properties, cement; and oils. It appears that some of these stabilizers seem to improve the earth mortars resistance to liquid water. However, in most cases, this improvement occurs at the expense of other important properties, which are also discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14568\/cp2019043","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,12]],"date-time":"2020-11-12T10:55:17Z","timestamp":1605178517000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Earth mortars stabilization: A review"],"prefix":"10.14568","author":[{"given":"In\u00eas","family":"Carreira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"LAQV-REQUIMTE, Departamento de Conserva\u00e7\u00e3o e Restauro, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias e Tecnologia, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Campus da Caparica, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3328-6749","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabel Pombo","family":"Cardoso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LAQV-REQUIMTE, Departamento de Conserva\u00e7\u00e3o e Restauro, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias e Tecnologia, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Campus da Caparica, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0372-949X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paulina","family":"Faria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CERIS e Departamento de Engenharia Civil, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias e Tecnologia, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Campus da Caparica, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal"}]}],"member":"5676","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","unstructured":"[1] \u00c7amurcuo\u011flu, D., \u2018The Wall Paintings of \u00c7atalh\u00f6y\u00fck (Turkey): Materials, Technologies and Artists\u2019, tese de Doutoramento, University College London, London, (2015)."},{"key":"ref1","unstructured":"[2] Rao, K., \u2018Foreword\u2019 in World Heritage Papers 36: Earthen Architecture in today\u2019s world, UNESCO, (2013) 7-8."},{"key":"ref2","unstructured":"[3] Gandreau, M.
