coating materials used in the buildings have increased. Materials used inside
and outside the building must conform to the standards. In this study, some
physical properties of the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous volcanics, which are
widely spreading around Trabzon, have been investigated. Weight per unit of
volume, massive water absorption, porosity, abrasion resistance, uniaxial
compressive strength, hardness values and ultrasonic pulse velocity were
determined by taking samples from these volcanic rocks. The data obtained as a
result of the tests and examinations show that the Trabzon volcanic cannot be
used for indoor and outdoor coating in the upstairs according to TS and ASTM
standards.  </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Mus Alparslan University}
