Abstract
Pumice can be used in bricks and concrete to produce lightweight building materials with high porosity, high thermal insulation and resistance to earthquake motion. The paper presents ongoing research to design a structural lightweight concrete and brick using Nevsehir pumice. The testing of four different brick types is reported. The density, thermal conductivity, compressive and tensile strengths and Young’s elastic modulus indicated that these lightweight materials had significant advantages as a construction material in earthquake-prone areas.
