Abstract: The use of plant raw materials in Compressed Earth Bricks has become an increasingly a common practice. This present work is part of this approach; it aims to study the impact of the size of soursop seed granules on the mechanical and water properties of Compressed Earth Bricks (CEB). To do this, clay named Aga from Gagnoa consisting essentially of quartz (77.13 wt%) and clay minerals kaolinite and illite (21.28 wt%) and soursop seeds of fine particle size (d≤0.5 mm) and average (0.5Keywords: Clay; Compressed earth bricks; Eco-material; Mechanical and water properties; Soursop seed granules.
