This study examines the influence of the physico-mechanical properties of the intact rock of aggregate materials on the strength (elasticity) performance of concrete. For this aim, nine different aggregate types were produced using jaw crusher and they used in production of the nine different concretes. During the making of the concretes, water-binder ratios were kept between 0.28 and 0.55 based on the slump and workability. A total of seventeen tests were performed to determine aggregate and rock properties. Simple and multiple linear regression analyses (SPSS) were performed for estimating elastic modulus of concrete (Ec) and the accuracy of equations were tested by F and t-test. According to 28-day curing time, strong correlations were obtained between the physicomechanical properties of the corresponding aggregate rocks and Ec. Since the simple equations with high correlation coefficient varying from 72.2%-98.2% were obtained from the results of this study, it is determined that there is a good and satisfactory relationship between Ec parameter and engineering properties of rocks. Furthermore, the multiple regression models have a better predictive efficiency than simple models and they can be applied for predicting Ec with reasonable confidence.
