The purpose of this study is to determine the proper dosage for a particular type of soil, which will be used to make soil-cement blocks to build a home in El Puestito, Burruyacu, Tucumán, Argentina. Two soil samples were extracted from studied area and samples of soil-cement specimens, using a mixture of two samples simultaneously and with each one separately. Another variable introduced was the pressure of production. At 28 days, were tested in two ways: first, subjecting them to compression at break and the second tests was made by submerging them in water and weighing them at certain time intervals. The results showed that: increasing the pressure of production, increases resistance to compression, while the absorption decreases. The results also showed that greater amounts of soil 1, enhances the resistance to breakage.
