文摘The characteristic architecture in the oases of south-eastern Morocco is that of raw earth construction.This is done through two techniques:rammed earth and adobe.This work is carried out with the aim of preserving this ancestral know-how by studying a construction dating back two centuries.The first step is to characterize a soil extracted from the remains of an old building,the grain size and plasticity of the soil showed that it was not very clayey and moderately plastic and that it was suitable for earth construction.Secondly,the study focuses on the mechanical resistance of blocks extracted from the remains studied,the result obtained satisfies all the standards.In order to characterize the durability of the adobe,we made samples of the earthen bricks with a similar soil and the study showed good durability of the adobe construction,the raw earth is a material that can stand in time.And finally,the reusability of the earth material from old buildings has been studied,the results have shown that raw earth is a perfectly reusable material,which makes it the ideal ecological material.
