Usability of Ahlat Stone as Aggregate in Reactive Powder Concrete

Ahlat district of Bitlis have booked a significant amount, known as the local name Ahlat stone ignimbrites in the past, in the region of Nemrut crater formed by the explosion of the spread of volcanic lava cooling of the region formed by the pyroclastic rocks. Since time immemorial, especially in Ahlat intensively used in Seljuk architecture ignimbrite (Ahlat stone) is now used by the people of the region continues. However Ahlat stone very low due to the compressive strength of the current use of the area has been limited, mainly stone walls in the area, tombstone, mosques and domes are used in construction. The purpose of this study, geological heritage Ahlat stone contributing to the promotion of the construction industry is to expand the use of sectoral. Ahlat stone areas by expanding the use of the region and is expected to contribute to the national economy. The goal of this study is investigate of availability of Ahlat stone as aggregate in reactive powder concrete. This study also represents properties of Ahlat stone.
