Abstract: There are few studies on soil mortars, yet different procedures are utilized.
All the testing procedure for classical sand-lime-cement mortars cannot be used without appropriate checking because of the activity of clay and because of the stiffness of the soil mortar which is much lower.
This article presents some laboratory procedures used on soilcement mortars; their comparison in the case of the compression strength measurement shows some major differences in the results.
For the measurement of workability and tensile strength, the first results can give a base for the choice of a procedure.
Finally some elements will be given to correlate the soil mortar characteristics with the masonry behaviour.
