Examining the limestones of Eflani (Karabük) region for each property being marble and agrega

This study experiments that Eflani (KARABÜK) around the reserve that has a lot of marble and limestone aggregate material to produce blocks will be taken from the ground have been done according to TSE and ISRM standards. Rocks of the physical, chemical and mechanical properties were determined with laboratory experiments. In the first stage will be held subject to chemical analysis of limestone in the chemical structure of compounds have been identified.Then, specific gravity of the physical properties, unit volume weight, porosity, water absorption by weight and volume of experiments to be done and experimental results were analyzed for TS Standards compliance.As a result, around Karabük-Eflani the limestone blocks of the high yield in the region as marble, block efficiency is not high in areas can be used as agrega, necessary, the physical, chemical and mechanical properties as well as in terms of class, where the limestone marble and stone in terms of the values in the TS standard meets the minimum and maximum values were observed.
