and cement contents, were produced and the effect of these parameters on physical and
mechanical properties of block elements were investigated. Diatomite samples were taken
from the region of Afyon. In the mixes, water/cement ratio was kept at 0.15. Analyses include
compressive strength, thermal conductivity, ultrasonic velocity tests, bulk density and specific
porosity. According to experimental results, while dry unit weight is varied between 900 and …
