A GEOENGINEERING EVALUATION FOR CONSTRUCTION AND CONSERVATION PRACTICES, MARDIN STONE CASE

Öz

In recent centuries, natural stones that were abundant and widespread in their locality were extensively used in their regions due to their high strength and the challenges of transportation. The fact that these stones, with their carvings on building facades, became a decorative element over time, reflecting the cultural and historical heritage of the region, has given the area a distinct architectural identity. However, the increase in reinforced concrete building construction in recent years has affected the architectural fabric of the region to a threatening extent. Determining the engineering properties of this local rock material is important for the preservation of nature, the environment, and the architectural structure. For construction and conservation practices, understanding of engineering geological properties of the stone is inevitable. This study investigated the physical, thermal, and mechanical properties of Mardin stone and addressed its suitability as a modern building material. For this purpose, the relationships between the examined engineering property parameters, including unit weight (γ), porosity (n), uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), point load index (Is(50)), ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), slake durability index (Id2), abrasion value (LA) and thermal conductivity (K), were investigated. To achieve this, comprehensive laboratory tests were conducted on samples collected from four different quarry pits where the material was obtained. Evaluations regarding the quality of natural stones for construction and building purposes were made according to relevant European norms, Turkish, and ASTM standards.
