Summary

The aim of this paper is to analyse the properties and main characteristics of a polymeric mortar made with an specific orange-yellowish aggregate named Albero. This aggregate can only be found in the province of Seville. The main objective is to develop a new building material named Polialbero, which can face the widely used Albero in Sevilian and Andalusian architecture, from façades to granular pedestrian pavements.
