Abstract

The search for ideal mixture of aggregates in order to increase mortar density has become an interesting topic to improve mortar properties. During ornamental rocks processing, about 25–30% of the blocks are transformed into powder as waste . Under this situation, this work proposes the rock waste incorporation as partial replacement of sand by using Alfred’s mathematical model to calculate the ideal granulometric distribution . The elaborated mortars are based on Portland cement CPII E 32, hydrated lime CHIII, sand, and residue from the processing of ornamental rocks, denominated as rock waste . The raw materials were characterized in terms of granulometric distribution . It can be concluded the efficiency in used ornamental rock waste and mathematical model for granulometric optimization to improve mortar density .
