Abstract

The earth-based material considered in this work is called Stabilized Earth Bick (SEB). Two distinguish type of SEB were examined: SEB5-Tu and SEB5-Te; their difference refers to the freestone, or the red earth composition. Firstly, a morphological characterization has been done by comparing two different approaches: the water porosity test and the mercury porosimetry which provide access to the material porosity and the pore size distribution.Then, the sorption-desorption isotherm were carefully evaluated for each SEB type. The dynamic gravimetric method was selected for such measurement. Further, theoretical modeling of the sorption desorption isotherm was investigated; here the model parameters allow more accurate interpretation of experimental results.Most of these measurements provided the hygric and structural characteristics relating to the SEB materials and a comparison of their characteristics depending on the variation of their compositions.
