Popis: [EN] In diverse parts of the world there exist some building systems that are generated for structural and constructive response to the earth constructions. In particular, this article discusses about the perpendicular unions of the walls of rammed earth. This is why, after a brief description of the reinforcement system, its advantages and consequences are developed, compared to other reinforcement systems. In this way, quantitative conclusions are obtained, demonstrating the increasing global resistance of the wall corners compared to horizontal efforts ( wind and earthquake) according to the constructive reinforcement system which does not have it. It has also been analysed the collapse of these walls facing gravitational and horizontal loads. The ultimate goal of this work is to preserve the cultural heritage, traditional construction systems and to apply them, by implementing actual improvements, to their recovery.
