The main objective of this project is to evaluate the behavior of the soil of the municipality of Ocaña Norte de Santander to manufacture Compressed Earth Blocks (CEB).This project seeks alternative materials that allow self-building for the most vulnerable communities.This research seeks to value and strengthen sustainable construction in the municipality.This allows for minimizing the use of Portland cement, which, due to the high energy consumption and CO 2 emissions during the construction of homes, is one of the main causes of the high carbon emissions the construction activity produces.As a result, experimental and quantitative research was developed, in which characterization of the different sector materials was made.Then, the design of mixtures and failure time were determined, and 10×15×30 cm samples were elaborated.Bricks elaborated with the different mixtures and acquired strength higher than 3.0 MPa at 28 days after manufacture, allowing compliance with the Colombian technical standard (NTC-5324) standard.Finally, the bricks obtained met the mechanical characteristics suitable for use as non-structural masonry.
