Abstract: Adhesive mortars, composed of Portland cement, fine aggregate, and additives, are used for installing ceramic tiles and stones, classified as ACI, ACII, or ACIII. This study analyzed the feasibility of producing mortars by partially replacing the fine aggregate with waste from the ornamental stone industry, specifically from the Santa Alice Granitos company (ES). The substitution ratios tested were 0% (reference), 10%, 20%, and 30%, using a 1:2 mix ratio. In the fresh state, the increase in waste content reduced the air-entrained content and increased the density. In the hardened state, mortars with higher substitution rates demonstrated better tensile adhesion strength. The 30% substitution stood out, achieving 0.97 MPa of tensile adhesion strength under standard curing conditions, exceeding the required 0.5 MPa threshold and qualifying as ACI or ACII. The results confirm the potential for reusing ornamental stone waste in adhesive mortars.
