| Abstract: | -Natural building cut stones are being used for ages all over the World to build masonry structures. Although these cut stones are low cost construction materials, they are not widely used in these days.
This study was done in order to bring more technical information about these stones for Engineers in Cyprus. Two quarries were selected and samples obtained were tested for some physical and mechanical properties.
From the results obtained it can be said that Meluşa stone behaved better than Karpaz stone. A regression analysis provided a polynomial relation between compressive strength and burning temperature. |
