    The document describes a site visit to analyze soil properties for making interlocking stabilized soil blocks (ISSBs). Tests were conducted on soil samples to determine physical properties, optimal moisture content, and mechanical properties when used to manufacture ISSBs. Results from compressive strength, density, weight, thermal conductivity, and moisture absorption tests on the ISSBs were analyzed and compared to adobe blocks. Findings, conclusions, and a report were produced.
