Mortars are considered to be particulate systems in suspension with fine aggregate, binder, water and organic polymeric additive. Factors such as granulometry, cement, ash and additive contents in their composition influence mortar properties in both the fresh and hardened states. A rheological study and mechanical test were performed on mortar prepared for floors and coatings through incorporating civil construction wastes (RCC) such as fine aggregate and fly ash, a mineral waste derived from combustion in boilers at the HYDRO ALUNORTECompany. This study seeks to develop a polymeric mortar that uses CPII E-32RS Portland cement andflyashas binders and fine sand and RCC with polyvinyl acetate (PVA) as aggregates. A study was performed on the influence of cement, ash, granulometry of aggregates and use of PVA based-polymeric additives on mortar properties.The materials were submitted to physical and chemical characterization using granulometric analysis, X-ray fluorescence and FTIR. In preparing the specimens, 6 formulas with 5% cement and 3 formulas with 10% cement were used, both with different levels of ash, sand and RCC andmaintaining a constant level of Portland cement content. A comparison of the mechanical and rheological properties of formulas with and without PVA was also made.Formulas in a fresh state were submitted to rheological tests. After 28 days of curing specimens of these formulas, by then in a hardened state, were submitted to tests for mechanical resistance to compression, specific mass, apparent absorption and apparent porosity. The research demonstrated that employing a PVA-based polymeric additive improved the mechanical properties of the mortar prepared with industrial wastes, as well as guaranteeing satisfactory rheological behavior for possible applications of such mortars in civil construction.
