A rammed earth garden house near Freiburg
Loam is produced by the natural weathering of rocks. It can be found almost everywhere and is considered a local building material – even on the Upper Rhine. It consists of different rock or particle sizes, from sand to silt to clay. If dried loam is combined with sufficient water, it becomes plastic again and can be brought into a new form. -

COMBATING CRUMBLING CONCRETE
Concrete was already being used in Roman times to erect buildings that would last almost for eternity. So it is all the more astonishing that some of today’s concrete structures reveal serious damage after only a few years. One reason is the alkali-silica reaction (ASR). WACKER’s building-protection experts are taking steps to stop ASR by subjecting the concrete to integral treatment. -
