For this purpose, ground marble was mixed with the clay used in the experiment at the rates of 5, 13, 15, 20 and 25 respectively; and from each of these mixtures 6 samples with different sizes (70x70x70mm and 40x40x160mm) were produced. Unit weight, swelling, ultrasound, shrinkage, compressive strength, tensile strength, mudding and capillarity tests were applied to these samples. As a result of the experiments carried out, it was observed that adobe mixed with 20% ground marble had the highest values with the unit weight of 2,10gr/cm3; swelling duration of 6 minutes; ultrasound velocity of 1,21km/s; compressive strength of 10,71N/mm2; tensile strength of 2,47 N/mm2; softening duration in water of 23 seconds; capillarity of 20 minutes .}, number={2}, publisher={E-Journal of New World Sciences Academy}
