“…In the case of exterior tabique walls, these correspond to the main vertical structural elements of a building and they tend to be stiffer by presenting a more robust timber frame solution (Cardoso 2013). It has been reported (Pinto et al 2014) that the partition tabique walls are also relevant in terms of structural behavior because they may work as a bracing solution of the main structural elements. Although, the timber frame of a partition wall tends to be lighter than the respective frame of exterior walls, they may have the same type of timber frame solution such as a set of vertical and horizontal timber boards connected to each other.…”

“…This paper intends to give a contribution to this issue by studying earth renders. Earth render plays a key building functionality in the tabique context because it protects the timber structure by increasing its durability (Cardoso 2013;Pinto et al 2014). In fact, earth render increases the fire resistance of the wall and protects the timber structure from the biological attack of insects and fungus.…”

“…More than 300 tabique buildings existing in the northeast part of Portugal have already been studied (Cardoso 2013;Pinto et al 2014) in order to contribute to the characterization of this valuable Portuguese heritage. The building typologies, the building materials (e.g., the filling of the tabique components, the species of the wood of the frame, the type of nails), the constructive solutions and the building details, the structural and non-structural defects and their causes and the possible rehabilitation solutions (structural and non-structural) are some of the technical aspects that have been under research concerning the tabique building technique (Pinto et al 2014).…”

“…According to research work performed in the tabique construction context (Pinto et al 2014) it has been concluded that this type of traditional construction is very likely to require measures of repairing, due to its age and also due to the lack of a proper maintenance policy. At the same time, there is still a lack of international design codes concerning earth construction and also of published technical information related to tabique construction.…”

A research work focused on studying earth render for tabique application purposes is presented. Initially, a brief description of the tabique building technique is provided. The relevance of the application of this traditional building technique is also highlighted. Different compositions of earth render are experimentally analyzed and the respective performance is evaluated. Flexural and compressive strengths, workability, drying shrinkage cracking, and water resistance are the material properties assessed. A simple earth render is selected as being adequate for tabique building applications and it is applied on the manufacturing of a tabique wall sample. This wall sample is monitored in terms of thermal insulation ability and its thermal transmission coefficient is estimated. Taking into account that there is still a lack of published technical information related to this topic, this article may contribute to solve this limitation and to give some guidance in future repairing processes of tabique construction. The technological benefit of adding lime or cement with earth is researched. Real tabique timber structure samples are applied in order to validate the obtained experimental results. ARTICLE HISTORY

In order to perform a correct and efficient rehabilitation of old building, it is required to know the materials used, their main properties as well as the construction process. Tabique Walls (TW) are primary building components of many constructions in the historic center of Viseu and their function, in addition to being used as partitioning elements (the most common in Portugal), is to be part of the main structure of buildings. In this sense it is essential to understand how the TW interconnect with each other and with the other main structural elements of buildings, namely the floors and the stone masonry walls. The important role of metallic connectors in the realization of these bonds is emphasized. This paper presents the research carried out in several buildings of the historic center of Viseu. Several constructive solutions found are detailed, associating the shapes and dimensions of the connectors to their function, and results are presented out of a primary campaign of laboratory tests carried out to define their mechanical properties. The knowledge obtained allows a better understanding of the overall structural behavior of these buildings and the role of the TW in that behavior.
