The use of raw earth materials makes it possible to naturally regulate humidity and improve thermal comfort inside homes. This is why, in recent years, we have seen a renewed interest in these so-called traditional materials, but especially in compressed earth blocks. The incorporation of Typha, which is an invasive plant in the rivers and lakes of northern Senegal, can help strengthen the matrix of these blocks and improve the thermal insulation of buildings. This article deals with the influence of crushed Typha on the thermal behavior of CEB based on laterite and stabilized with cement. Several formulations based on Laterite, Typha (between 0.5 and 1.5%) and cement (10%) were made and CEB made with a Cinva-Ram type press. The thermal characteristics were obtained from an asymmetrical heating plane. The thermal conductivity and thermal effusivity values show that Typha provides better thermal insulation while maintaining good absorption inertia for the CEB.
