Abstract
For this study two quarries are selected and samples obtained were tested for some physical and mechanical properties. Traditional names of these NBC stones are MeluÅa Stone and Karpaz Stone (or Bouri Stone). The physical properties such as bulk density, water absorption, specific gravity and porosity were measured. The mechanical properties such as compressive strength, flexural strength, direct tensile strength, splitting tensile strength, point load strength, fire resistance, abrasion resistance and freeze-thaw resistance were measured. From the results obtained it can be said that MeluÅa stone behaved better than Karpaz stone. A regression analysis also provided a polynomial relation between compressive strength and burning temperature and flexural strength and burning temperature.
