Oussama... there are four possible uses of "as...as".
I could copy and paste them here, but it would be better for you to look at the website:

We use "as ... as" to make comparisons when the things we are comparing are equal in some way.
"The weather this summer is >as bad as< last year."
Remember there's the negative form "not as .... as". We use this to make comparisons between things which aren’t equal.
"She’s >not< singing >as loudly as< she can."
Note: I see this mistake often: "as same as".
This is NOT correct. By using 'same' you are already doing some sort of comparison, which means it's a double comparison.
