   <abstract>
    <p>Rubble of destroyed buildings in Turkey is a growing environmental problem, in Ankara only, there are 12 landfills&#13;
to collect and store them. Adobe is a world common building material; many studies inferred its environmental qualities.&#13;
This study examines the production of adobe using recycled rubble sand and aggregate, in order to use the adobe ecological&#13;
qualities and decrease the rubble wastes impact. Moreover, experimenting different mixtures and compositions of adobe helps&#13;
to define the most suitable mixture for different uses, especially in rural areas in Turkey.&#13;
The empirical approach used in the study compares different sets of specimens prepared in lab conditions; each set is made of&#13;
five cube samples. The specimens are examined to define their qualities related to strength of materials.&#13;
The initial results shows the possibility to use recycled bulk in making adobe for construction materials and elements, even the&#13;
resistance under compression decreased 5% using recycled sand, comparing to adobe produced using new materials, it still&#13;
achieve the objective structurally and environmentally. Future work will study the use of this material in structural elements, and&#13;
examining their mechanical and structural properties.  </p>
