Abstract

This study falls within the framework of sustainable development, and is mainly interested in the renovation of the mileage technique formerly used by our ancestors, which is the Adobe. This durable and vulnerable material is a very interesting aspect to treat. In this context, a contribution for the study of an eco-material has been proposed. This is the land use stabilsée by adding vegetable fiber and the juice of aloe vera for making adobe block as eco-material more efficient and sustainable.

Several properties are studied and the results have shown the important advantage of adding aloe-vera as a stabilization technique and the addition of fiber to the physico-mechanical and the durability of the earth material (Adobe).
