Résumé

Researches for non-energy intensive construction products, that are durable and cheaper is today of global concern because of the limited resources (energy, financial, etc.). To address this issue, the present work presents the combination of the decoction of pods of Parkia Biglobosa (néré) that is rich in tannins compounds including gallic acid, epicatechin gallate and epigallocatechin, with a clay-sand mixture. The clay used is referenced KORO and contains montmorillonite, illite, quartz, albite, orthoclase, kaolinite and goethite. The study of the mechanical properties of geomaterials formulated from the mixture shows that they have values of mechanical resistance higher and that their behavior becomes
