Raw earth, a material that has been used in construction for thousands of years, currently provides an interesting alternative to expensive and power-consuming materials. The current climatic and economic conditions have led to a renewed interest in this material, both for its ecological characteristics and for its high-performance thermo-hygroscopic properties. Nevertheless, the "raw earth" material presents a vulnerability related to cracking due to shrinkage strains induced by desiccation. The aim of this thesis research is to contribute to a better insight into crack appearance and propagation mechanisms in clayey materials subjected to hydric solicitations. In this context, an experimental and phenomenological study of both free desicc...
