| dc.description.abstract | This work characterizes, classify and improve the physical properties of the natural material from Mangu with
stabilizers to be qualified as good soil for the production of good earth blocks with low water absorption
coefficient. Results of the test carried out showed that the natural soil used was clayey soil with medium
plasticity. The addition of 50% sand, has highly improved the soil grading properties. The ratios with optimal
performances are 50% sand added with 6 to 8% cement and from 8 to 9% added with. Stabilizers have highly
improved the hydrological properties of blocks specimen for using capillary environment. | en_US |
