Abstract

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for preparing a hydraulic composition including sand in which clay is present, the method including adding to the sand and clay a cationic polymer having a density of cationic charges which is greater than 0.5 meq/g and an intrinsic viscosity which is less than 1 dl/g, said cationic polymer being present in an amount of from 2-20% by weight based on the amount of clay present, said clay present in an amount of from 0.5-5% by weight of the sand present, and water.
