Abstract


Like a basic construction material, the soil has been used since the distant past. In our days, we know very few about country constructors, probably because of our ignorance concerning the traditional materials they have used. Inspite of the existence of a lot of experiences and informations concerning this matter, the antecedents about the development of the materials comming from the mixture of soil, lime and/or concrete, have not been spread enough.
