    —with the enormous development of human life and increase in energy consumption, new challenges are facing this high consumption, particularly with the climate changes affecting our desert regions, in particular the State of Ouargla, one of the hottest regions in Algeria especially in summer. In this challenging context, this work continues in research axes aimed at creation better building materials, with better thermal and mechanical properties, from which we seek in the characterization of new plastic process and earth bricks. In this sense we study the thermal and mechanical behaviour of bricks based on local materials and ecology (Case: Ouargla region) such as clay and sand dunes, this composition is where each composition is subjected to a set of thermal (conductivity) and mechanical (compressive strength, tensile strength, sonic propagation speed). The results show an overall negative effect in the sense of physico – mechanical.
