Resumen

In the field of construction, and specifically regarding cement-based mixtures such as concrete, endless alternative materials have been implemented aiming at improving the physical, mechanical and chemical properties, reducing cement usage through the use of materials from an organic origin. In this sense, cacti species have gained ground in the construction industry, therefore, in this research work, the pitahaya species was studied. Pitahaya powder was characterized to replace cement in the mortar mix in percentages of 1% and 2%, evaluating the compressive strength at 28 days. Results showed that characteristics similar to those of nopal were obtained, such as the ability to store water within the pores, which leads to improvements in compressive strength with respect to the control mixture.
