Experimental investigation on the application of concrete produced with limestone and dolomitic limestone aggregates in building constructions

Concrete, which is frequently used in the production process of buildings; It made by mixing cement, water, aggregate and additives appropriate amounts. important that physical, chemical, mineralogical especially mechanical properties concrete are at desired level terms strength durability built structures. In this direction, selection aggregates, an part mix, one factors affecting properties. The use limestone dolomitic rocks, rocks sedimentary origin, strengthens adhesion aggregates with cement improves mixture. study, it was aimed to identify classify Western Anatolian region Turkey investigate suitability their as concrete. context, when chemical rock samples taken from field area were examined, understood samples. order compare performance mixtures prepared using a total 18 prepared, including crushed aggregate, limestone, together. At end 7 28 days curing period, compressive strengths intention being building structures tested compared.
