Abstract
A method for producing concrete or mortar based on an exclusively vegetal aggregate, a mineral binding agent, and mixing water is described. Instead of the vegetal aggregate being premineralized in a separate step of the operation, 4 to 14 kg of a non-hydratizable, finely ground mineralizator is added for each cubic meter of vegetable aggregate when the concrete or mortar is being mixed. Raw calcium carbonate is a preferred mineralizator.
