Clay is currently experiencing a renewed interest following energy crisis and that of housing. It is therefore important to estimate the thermo-physical and mechanical parameters of this material which is used among things as building material. We present in this study, the results of the thermo-physical and mechanical properties of clay from BANGA BANA quarry, mixed with cow dung. BANGA BANA is a neighborhood in the city of Niamey in Niger, located on the right bank of the Niger River. This mixture is used to make bricks for the construction of houses in Niamey. The results obtained show that the conductivity and effusivity of this clay decrease depending on the content of cow dung. Regarding resistances to compression, they are present to a maximum when they are represented depending on the percentage of cow dung. The stabilization of the mixture is obtained by adding cement.
Key words: Compressive strength, flexural strength, thermal conductivity, thermal effusivity, , ,
