Abstract

Our work expressed that compressed and stabilized clay with arabic gum is a suitable building material in regards to the mechanical properties. This paper presents an experimental study of the determination of thermal conductivity in a steady state cylindrical geometry configuration  approach.  The results obtained give a thermal conductivity in the order of 1 W.m-1. K-1, quite similar to other building materials. On the other hand, because of its inertia, the material dampens the temperature variations between the inside and the outside.

Compressed clay block clay gum Arabic thermal conductivity thermal inertia damping the température.
