This paper is focused on the experimental characterization of the mechanical behaviour of hemp-lime block. To this purpose two different mechanical test are considered. After a preliminary geometric characterization of blocks and fibers a series of compression tests were carried out to characterize the elastic Young modulus and the compressive strength (UCS). Subsequently, a series of two direction stress path tests were carried out to describe the limit state behaviour of the material in term of internal friction angle and cohesion.
