Abstract The housing sector today uses elaborate materials such as cement, iron, sand, often prohibitively expensive and
whose production generates a strong environmental impact (scarcity of resources, transport, greenhouse gas
greenhouse, etc.). In order to meet the challenges of sustainable development, earth construction is experiencing
a resurgence of interest these days. Despite its many advantages, raw earth material has drawbacks, in particular
its low mechanical resistance and its loss of geometric characteristics in the face of water, which slow down its
development. As part of this study, the mechanical characteristics and durability of raw earth were improved
by using residual water… More >
