The self-leveling mortar is a fluid product that has as a low viscosity and high fluidity. This building material that requires no vibration and leveling, having very low thickness ( 30 mm). The purpose of this study is to evaluate fresh properties of self-leveling SLU using three byproducts: bottom-ashes, fine elements of quarry limestone and fine elements from recycledconcrete-waste. Portland Cement OPC was partially replaced by 0,10, 15 e 20% of fines. The water/binder was maintained constant at 0.50 and mix proportion 1:2 cement and sand (by weight) was used. Fresh properties were examined: plastic shrinkage, curling and heat measurements using a semi-adiabatic calorimeter. A superplasticizer (polycarboxylate) was used to assure a fluidity. During drying (HR=50%) a mass loss was monitored. To the same cement content fine from bottom-ash acted efficiently to reduce a shrinkage. The curling phenomenon is high, with more than 1.70 for mortars based on fine from recycled-concretewaste. Higher early curling was obtained for mortars with quarry limestone. A good performance could be assured with ternary mixes with bottom ashes (curling less than 8mm). Self-leveling mortar systems with more than 20% of fine resulted negative effect on segregation and bleeding, so not recommended to self-leveling mortar purposes.
