Abstract

Concrete is a building material that is considered as a granular composite. The factor in its acceptance as granular is the aggregate in its content. In addition to forming the vast majority of aggregate concrete volume, it is also extremely important in the development of strength and durability factors. Although cement is the most costly input of concrete, it can affect the cost of concrete in changes in aggregate type. For this purpose, in this study, concrete samples were produced with different types of aggregates from different quarries operating in Adıyaman province. Only the type of aggregate was changed and cost calculations were made, provided that the cement type and amount and other components in the mixture remained constant. In addition, cost and strength comparisons were made by measuring pressure resistance values for 7 and 28 days.
