The Thermal and Mechanical Properties of the Building Stones in Eskisehir - Kayseri and Kırsehir regions

In this study, certain physical properties of Derbent (Eskisehir), Tomarza (Kayseri) and Mucur (Kırsehir) stones, which are used as building materials in the relevant regions, subjected to analysis. For each stone, samples were taken from two separate quarries, after chemical analysis, thermal conductivity, compression stress, water absorption, breathability abrasion tests carried out. The results obtained out follows: i) It is understood that Eskisehir tuff stones can be briquettes, bricks or aggregates lightweight concrete thanks their low conductivity values (0.355 W/mK 0.581 W/mK) heat insulation properties. ii) Kırşehir stone shows it load bearing wall material resistant flooring with 88.46 MPa compressive strength 0.4% volume values. iii) has also been conferred three have rich reserves costs. compared other materials, especially terms energy saving, comfort conditions.
