Resumen

This research presents a study regarding thecharacterization of the coating mortars andcarpentry elements used in Traditional CanarianBuildings. Several techniques proposed in therelevant literature, which are based on theThermogravimetric Analysis (TGA/DTG) and theScanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), were used forthe characterization and the identification of thesebuilding materials. The mapping obtained by theEnergy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) shows thepresence of a low proportion of calcium in thecoating mortar. On the other hand, the woodanalysed by TGA/DTG shows the characteristicpeaks of hemicellulose and cellulose, respectively.These peaks are within the normally expectedtemperature intervals, as reported in the literaturefor the identification of pitch wood (TEA, in Spanish).
