Özet

In this study, the preparation method of the equivalent sized spherical samples which is called as Pasha Method is applied to slake durability index test. In order to apply this sample preparation method, white and pink tuff samples were collected at the tuff quarries located at the Eskisehir region in Turkey. After sample preparation stage, these tuff samples were subjected to the Slake Durability Index test in the laboratory. According to the test results presented in this paper, the highest slake durability index values were obtained from equal-sized spherical test samples that are prepared according to the new method, Pasha Method, when compared to the other two types of samples. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications.
