Currently, the interest in using compressed earth blocks (CEB) as a construction material has increased for both environmental and economic reasons. This work aims at investigating the impact of Marrakesh region's soils on the unconfined compressive strength value. First, we reviewed the state of art of these materials in order to fix the soils to be used in our study. Then, we analyzed the chemical and metallic composition of these soils and proposed some stabilization methods to improve the thermal and mechanical behavior of the produced CEB.
