Abstract
Istanbul-Bakırköy kufeki stone has been widely used as a building block in traditional architectural structures in Istanbul. The petrographic, physicomechanical and chemical properties of limestone, which was extracted from the quarries of Istanbul-Silivri-Akören village and used as building stone repair stone in traditional architectural buildings in Istanbul and contemporary architecture, are determined according to TS 699. According to the studies, Silivri stone is a limestone with high silica content. According to the results of the experiments, it was examined that kufeki stone could be used as a building block and that Bakırköy kufeki stone could fill the gap in the restoration of traditional buildings. Consequently, it is suitable to be used in the restoration works of historical works built with kufeki stone in terms of color and technical features kufeki stone in terms of color and technical features.
Highlights
The oldest building material used in the architectural field throughout history is natural stones
Since the Bakırköy küfeki is under the settlement, new quarries were needed in the restoration of historical stone works
Silivri limestone, which meets the building block requirement of Istanbul and Thrace Region, is a limestone formed by shells, mostly mussel shells. It is a compact rock with light beige, light yellow, dirty white shades, fine-gained and sandy appearance, abundant fossil, hollow, crypto crystal
Summary
The oldest building material used in the architectural field throughout history is natural stones. Petrogaphic properties, physicomechanical properties, chemical properties and durability properties of stone samples taken from IstanbulSilivri-Akören village quarry have been determined and many tests have been made and their test results have been interpreted in terms of usability in the restoration of historical buildings in Istanbul and Thrace Region. Mineralogical and Petrogaphic Properties The mineralogical and petrogaphic properties that make up the various internal structures and properties of the stones are important in natural stone characterization Parameters such as hardness, brittleness, cutability, shape and displacement at the Polarizing Microscope Studies The thin section method has been widely used in petrogaphic analysis for many years. Their dimensions range from 0.5-3.0 mm (Figure 4)
