THERMAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF BUILDING STONES IN AFYON AND KARAMAN REGION

Abstract

In this study, some of the physical properties of the Seydiler and Sorkun stones from Afyon and Kızılören and Kazım Karabekir stones from Karaman which have been used extensively as a building material in cities and even in neighbor cities were investigated. Used as construction components, these stones are highly praised by the people living in those areas due to their ease of handling and convenient thermal characteristics. The aim is to determine the thermal and mechanical properties of these stones. Samples were taken from two different quarries for each stone and after chemical analysis, they were subjected to thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, water absorption, inhalation ability and mechanical strength tests. The results were compared with other building materials, especially in terms of energy saving, strength and comfort aspects.
