This has caused an increase in CO2 emissions, as cement production releases large quantities of this gas into the atmosphere. Adding this fact to the growing consciousness of environmental preservation, it has led to a search for alternatives to cement to complement its derivatives, in the form of waste materials like the ashes. This research aimed to analyze the properties of mortars in fresh and hardened state with partial replacement of Portland cement by residual algaroba wood ash (CRLA) potteries produced by the state of Rio Grande do Norte. The CRLA was collected and sieved, where part of it was ground and characterized in comparison with that just sifted, being characterized according to its chemical composition, grain size, fineness, density, bulk density and index of pozzolanic activity. It was found that the wood ash does not act as pozzolan, and grinding it has not changed its characteristics compared to those just sifted, not justifying its use. Two traces were adopted for this research: 1:3 (cement: fine sand) and 1:2:8 (cement: hydrated lime: medium sand); both in volume, using as materials the CRLA just sifted, CP II F-32 Portland cement, CH-I hydrated lime, river sand and water from the local utility. For each trace were adopted six percentages of partial replacement of cement for wood ash: 0% (control) 5%, 7%, 10%, 12% and 15%. In the fresh state, the mortars were tested towards their consistency index and mass density. In the hardened state, they were tested towards their tensile strength in bending, compressive strength and tensile adhesion strength, and its mass density in the hardened state. The mortar was also analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, it was classified according to NBR 13281 (2005). The results showed that up to a content of 5% substitution and for both traces, the residual algaroba wood ash can replace Portland cement without compromising the mortars microstructure and its fresh and hardened state / Com o aumento do seu consumo, o cimento se tornou rapidamente um dos insumos mais consumidos pela humanidade no ?ltimo s?culo. Isso desencadeou um aumento das emiss?es de CO2, uma vez que a produ??o do cimento libera na atmosfera grandes quantidades deste g?s. Somando este fato ao crescente pensamento da preserva??o ambiental, passou-se a buscar alternativas ao cimento, na forma de res?duos, para complementar os seus derivados, sendo uma delas as cinzas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar as propriedades, no estado fresco e endurecido, de argamassas com substitui??o parcial do cimento Portland pela cinza residual de lenha de algaroba (CRLA) produzida pelas olarias do RN. A CRLA foi recolhida e peneirada, onde parte dela foi mo?da e caracterizada em compara??o com a apenas peneirada, sendo caracterizadas quanto a sua composi??o qu?mica, granulometria, finura, massa espec?fica, massa unit?ria e ?ndice de Atividade Pozol?nica. Avaliou-se que a cinza n?o atua como pozolana e que ela mo?da pouco variou em rela??o a apenas peneirada, injustificando seu uso. Adotou-se para este trabalho dois tra?os, sendo 1:3 (cimento : areia fina) e 1:2:8 (cimento : cal : areia m?dia), ambos em volume, usando-se como materiais a CRLA apenas peneirada, o cimento Portland CP II F-32, a cal hidratada CH-I, areia de rio e ?gua da concession?ria local. Para cada tra?o foram adotados percentuais de substitui??o parcial do cimento pela cinza, sendo eles 0% (refer?ncia), 5%, 7%, 10%, 12% e 15%. No estado fresco, as argamassas foram ensaiadas com rela??o ao seu ?ndice de consist?ncia e ? densidade de massa. No estado endurecido, foram ensaiadas com rela??o ? sua resist?ncia ? tra??o na flex?o, ? compress?o e de ader?ncia ? tra??o, e ? sua densidade de massa no estado endurecido. Elas foram tamb?m analisadas por microscopia eletr?nica de varredura e por difra??o de Raios-X. Al?m disso, as argamassas foram classificadas conforme a NBR 13281 (2005). Os resultados encontrados mostraram que, at? um teor de 5% de substitui??o e para ambos os tra?os, pode-se substituir o cimento pela cinza residual de lenha de algaroba sem comprometer as argamassas microestruturalmente e no seu estado fresco e endurecido
