"Earth-based mortars have been used all over the world since ancient times in an extensive range\r\nof building types from vernacular architecture to monuments. Plastering is one of the most\r\ncommon contemporary applications of earth-based mortars used for earthen-building conservation\r\nor modern architecture. Raw earth is a very diverse natural material, and clay minerals play\r\na key role in plaster properties being responsible for their setting process and providing the\r\ncapacity of balancing the indoor hygrometric conditions of buildings. This capacity offers significant\r\nbenefits to energy savings delivering comfort and health of inhabitants and also contributes\r\nto building conservation. For this study, three mortars were produced with different\r\nclayish earths to assess the influence of clay mineralogy. Mortars characterization confirmed that\r\nclay mineralogy drives important plaster properties, such as vapour adsorption and drying\r\nshrinkage, while also having a significant influence on mechanical strength, dry abrasion, and\r\nthermal conductivity. Within the studied mortars, illitic clayish earth stands outs as more adequate\r\nfor earth-based plasters, showing balanced properties, namely linear drying shrinkage, mechanical\r\nstrength, dry abrasion, and water vapour adsorption."^^ .
