Abstract

This work presents an experimental study carried on the characterization of a local material polyphasic used for the interior temperature control in a climatic environment subjected to very important temperature variations. The physical and structural properties of the composite allowed a durability of the buildings during millenia. However, the raw ground is weakened by deterioration due to the effect of the atmospheric parameters. The taken samples were the subject of chemical, mineralogical and micro structural analysis. The results showed that there is a relation between the structure, mineral and chemical, and the durability of material.

 

Key words: Believed ground, physical properties, structure and durability.
