The effect of different filling materials and grain distribution on physico-mechanical properties of building materials

In this thesis, the effect of the changes in the grain sizes of the filling materials used in the construction materials on the physical properties of the construction materials was investigated according to TS EN 998-1 standard. The effect of the physical properties of micronized silica and calcite fillers used in the mixture of building materials according to the grain distribution differences on the change of physico-mechanical parameters on the building materials were evaluated. As a result, it was observed that dry bulk density, compressive-flexural strength and thermal conductivity values of the hardened mortar obtained for calcite and siliceous filling materials were directly proportional to the grain size.
