    abstract = {The use of bio-based materials is becoming a
growing need, especially for sub-Saharan countries.
Moreover, in a context marked by the level of land
pressure of Dakar region in Senegal, the city of
Diamniadio is chosen by the Senegalese authorities as an
administrative city seems relevant because of its
proximity to Dakar. However, the land of this area
formerly reserved for market gardening create some
difficulties for its use in the setting up of buildings. That’s
the reason why, we proposed this study which main
objective is to propose a method of implementation of this
land in the construction by improving its properties to the
Typha Australis which is a wild and harmful plant. So,
after a characterization of the earth that confirmed its clay
and plastic character with a fineness module of 1.32 and
a plasticity index of 20.47%, we mixed it with Typha
Australis to analyze its mechanical properties. The
experiment with the press shows a mechanical resistance
to compression of 1.08 MPa for the soil alone and
0.71 MPa for that treated with 10% by mass of typha
through 0.89 MPa for the soil treated with 4.48% of
crushed typha. These values are sufficient for land use
mixed with Typha Australis in the walls of the buildings.
This gives this study a double impact, namely the
development of the land of Diamnidio and Typha
Australis.}
