Abstract
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.
