urrently, globally, it is common to observe buildings made of reinforced earth; however, in regions susceptible to earthquakes and erosion by water, this has become a concern for engineering. The research focused on the implementation of the additive Terrasil in the manufacturing of reinforced earth units with the aim of improving both compressive and tensile strengths while reducing their absorption level. Both "in situ" and laboratory tests were conducted to select the appropriate soil quarry. The mechanical properties, such as compressive and tensile strengths, of the reinforced earth units were evaluated according to the standards described in E.080 regulations. To assess the material's permeability, absorption and simulated flooding tests were proposed. The results showed an increase in compressive and tensile strengths by 33% and 46%, respectively, for the units, as well as a 28% and 11% increase for the small walls. Additionally, there was a 30% increase in the cost of constructing small walls with the reinforced earth units with the Terrasil additive. In conclusion, including the Terrasil additive at a 1% ratio to water improves the mechanical characteristics and reduces the absorption rate of the reinforced earth units, with a production cost that is not significantly high.
