  • Uniform distribution here means that there are as few local concentration islands of polymer or earth components as possible and that there is no noticeable concentration gradient in any spatial direction of the earth building materials.
  • the water content of the polymer-modified earth building material before drying, curing or solidifying in the range from 1% by weight to 30% by weight, preferably 2% by weight to 20% by weight. -% and in particular 3 to 15 wt .-%, for example about 5 wt .-%, about 7 wt .-% or about 10 wt .-%.
  • the water content in the polymer-modified earth building materials can, if desired, be adjusted to the above-mentioned values by adjusting the water content of one or more of the components, ie by drying or adding water.
  • the adjustment of the water content in the polymer-modified earth building materials can be done before the components are mixed, during the mixing of the components. ten and after the mixing of the components, preferably before or during the mixing.
  • the drying, hardening or solidification of the earth building materials according to the invention is generally carried out by themselves in the air or by heating to a temperature of up to 150 ° C., preferably up to 120 ° C. At temperatures below 10 ° C, the drying process is usually undesirably slow. In many cases the drying takes place in the range of the roughness temperature (15 to 30 ° C) for cost reasons.

  • the mass obtained in this way is usually either mouldable or flowable and can be used directly for the desired use. If necessary, the still moist mass can also be compacted.
  • Typical areas of application for the earth building materials according to the invention are the structural construction measures, for example the consolidation of road substructures, the use in dam and dike construction, the use in landfill seals or in the sealing and fastening of surfaces which are exposed to mechanical stress, such as embankments or parking spaces.
  • the present invention therefore also relates to a method for fastening soils, in which the soil to be fastened is excavated or dredged, the soil thus obtained is optionally comminuted, mixed with at least one hydrophobic polymer and mixed until the polymer is uniformly distributed in the excavated material, when mixing, the water content of the mixture is adjusted to a value in the range from 1 to 30% by weight, preferably 2 to 20% by weight and in particular 3 to 15% by weight, and the mixture thus obtained, ie the invented applies earth building material again.

  • the earth building materials according to the invention can be processed to shaped articles, in particular building blocks or earth bricks. Suitable processes for the production of moldings from mineral materials such as the earth building materials according to the invention are known to the person skilled in the art.
  • the solidified or hardened earth building materials according to the invention are distinguished by significantly increased bending tensile and compressive strengths and by increased elasticities compared to unmodified clay moldings.
  • the shrinkage which is usually observed when drying moist masses based on clastic sediments is generally not influenced or only insignificantly adversely affected by the earth building materials according to the invention, the shrinkage usually occurring to size and thus being of subordinate importance for the construction projects constructed using the earth building materials according to the invention ,

  • the polymer dispersion had a minimum film-forming temperature of 16 ° C.
  • the dispersion contained 0.4% by weight of nonylphenol ethoxylate (ethoxylation degree of severity 25) and 1.2% by weight of the sodium salt of the nonylphenol ethoxylate sulfuric acid half-ester (degree of ethoxylation 25).
