Compressive strength characteristic was studied for compressed earth block produced from Laylan area south eastern Kirkuk through the compressed earth blocks samples were prepared with dimensions (8.8*6.3*2.2( cm 3 based on the international Standards (ASR 671:1996, ASR 674:1996(, the unconfined compressive strength the blocks models was examined after different period curing (7,14,28( under laboratory condition ranging in value between )30.1-42.6 MPa) these results are according to engineering
