Abstract :In this study, certain physical properties of Derbent insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Eskisehir);, Tomarza insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Kayseri); and Mucur insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Kırsehir); stones, which are used as building materials in the relevant regions, are subjected to analysis. For each stone, the samples were taken from two separate quarries, after which the chemical analysis, thermal conductivity, compression stress, water absorption, breathability and abrasion tests were carried out. The results obtained from the tests carried out are as follows: i); It is understood that Eskisehir Derbent tuff and Tomarza stones can be used as briquettes, bricks or aggregates as lightweight concrete thanks to their low thermal conductivity values insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.355 W/mK and 0.581 W/mK); and heat insulation properties. ii); Kırşehir Mucur stone shows that it can be used in load bearing wall material and abrasion resistant flooring with 88.46 MPa compressive strength and 0.4% volume abrasion values. iii); It has also been conferred that three stones have rich reserves and low costs. The results are compared with other building materials, especially in terms of energy saving, strength and comfort conditions.
