Abstract
This study investigated the physical properties of Ünye stone (Ordu), Harşit granites (Giresun), and Trabzon gray stone (Trabzon) used as building materials in the Eastern Black Sea Region. Chemical components, thermal conductivity, compressive stress, water absorption, and abrasion percentages were determined. Ünye stone has small thermal conductivity coefficient values (0.67 W/mK), indicating that it can be used for thermal insulation and decorative purposes as briquettes, bricks, or wall cladding materials. Harşit granites have compressive stress and abrasion rate values of 113 MPa and 1.05%, respectively. Trabzon gray stone has compressive stress and abrasion rate values of 125 MPa and 1.13%, respectively. These results indicate that Harşit granite and Trabzon gray stone can be used as wall cladding materials and wear-resistant floor coverings. These three stones can be widely used because they are cheap and abundant.
