In this study, some
of the physical properties of the Karacadag stone from Diyarbakir, Sanliurfa stone from Sanliurfa, Mardin and Midyat stones from
Mardin and Hasankeyf stone from Batman which have been used extensively as a building
material in Southeastern Anatolia Region were investigated. The stones
having different features have been used as building materials in every places
all over the region for ages. Heat and mechanical properties of these stones
have not been searched yet. The aim of this work is to find out how suitable
these rocks are as structural materials. For this aim, two specimens from
different sources for each stone chosen from various places in Southeastern
Anatolia Region, have been
taken. After chemical analysis, the experiments for determining the heat
conductivity and heat capacity, water absorption and mechanical strength were
carried out. The
results are compared with the other building materials especially in the aspects
of energy saving, strength and natural comfort conditions.
