    abstract = {With the enormous development of human life
and increase in energy consumption, new challenges are
facing this high consumption, particularly with the climate
changes affecting our desert regions in particular Ouargla
city at Algeria, according to climatic statics it is one of the
hottest regions in Algeria and world. This challenging
context, make us continues in this research axes where we
aimed at developing better building materials having
better thermal and mechanical properties of bricks using
plastic materials. In this sense, we study the thermal and
mechanical behavior of bricks based on local materials
and ecology (Case: Ouargla) such as clay and sand dunes,
this composition is where each composition is subjected
to a set of thermal (conductivity) and mechanical
(compression strength, tensile strength). The results show
an overall negative effect in the sense of physico
mechanical.}
