Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a solid construction material which is preferably substantially free of hydraulic binder, comprising the steps of: a. extracting a mineral fraction comprising argillaceous particles of a soil; b. optionally adjusting the particle size of the mineral fraction extracted, in particular in relation to its clay, sand, gravel or loam content, if necessary; c. preparing a first aqueous grout from at least one part of the mineral fraction extracted and optionally adjusted in terms of particle size; d. adding a dispersant that can disperse the argillaceous particles in the first grout in order to obtain a second aqueous grout, e. adding a coagulant that can promote the agglomeration of the argillaceous particles in the second grout in order to obtain an aqueous construction material grout; f introducing the construction material grout into a formwork; and g.

Abstract: An additive for producing a hardenable building material, especially a mineral composition comprising clays, comprising or consisting of: a) a dispersing agent, selected from aluminates, aluminate precursors, phosphates, silicates and/or polyacrylates, which is capable of dispersing clay particles in an aqueous slurry, and b) a coagulating agent, selected from salts of divalent metal cations, preferably salts of alkaline earth metals and/or iron, especially magnesium, calcium and/or iron salts, capable of causing clay particles to agglomerate in a aqueous slurry.
