Contribution à l’étude des propriétés thermiques des briques en terre

Abstract

Saharan regions of our country have a hot, dry summers and cold and dry in winter; building materials commonly used in these regions are concrete or mortar which have poor thermal properties. In one cares to produce clay bricks with good mechanical and thermal properties this study is launched. This report is the result of experimental work involving two broad areas of applied sciences: heat the building. The study focused on the bricks of earth (clay) chosen as reference material to which we associate sand dune; date palm fiber. We did the percentage of sand varies from 0% to 40% and 0% to3 fiber mass%. The results showed that increasing % sand on fiber is beneficial for improving thermal properties.
