| Sumario: | (English) In the area of architecture and construction, natural cement is the least known of traditional conglomerates. Most professionals in the sector who are interested in conglomerates have broad knowledge of the two types of lime and perhaps even of traditional plaster. However, they do not tend to be informed about natural cement. The aim of this thesis is to provide information about this type of cement in terms of how important its industry was in Catalonia and its meaning today. With this idea, we have organised the research into two parts. The first part provides a historical study of the material. It examines the first written references that reached us here, long before natural cement began to be manufactured, when and where the first natural cement was produced, how and where this industry spread around Catalonia, which types of natural cements were manufactured, their characteristics and properties, how and where they were manufactured, the first regulations governing the material, its uses, etc. This production was anonymous but relevant, with over a hundred and fifty years of history, from its beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century to the current time, spread out among various regions of Catalonia: Gironès, Alt Empordà, Ripollès and Berguedà, among many others. The second part, which we have called the present, is set from the transitory period of the civil war and postwar up to the study of natural cements that are manufactured today. A total of four quick-setting natural cements are examined. We have discovered their properties, characteristics, specific features, strengths and weaknesses. |
