AB  - As part of the recovery of local materials in
arid and semi-arid areas, the adobe will be chosen as a
reductive object. This research topic consists of the use of
clay for construction. The latter is abundant in the south
of Algeria and has properties that appear to be suitable for
building design. The purpose of this project is to evaluate
the behaviour of clay-based Adobe by adding dune sand,
gravel 8/15 and gravel 3/8 by different percentages. This
technical study is based on the application of tests for the
physical and mechanical characterization of the latter.
This study is launched with the aim of characterizing a
clay based on local materials from the Ouargla region,
namely Baldat Amor clay, sand from the dune of Sidi
khouiled, gravel from Ouargla.
