ABSTRACT

This study presents physico-mechanical properties of ophiolitic rocks collected from Yakakayi dam site (Ozsoy et al, 2006). A great number of samples were collected from dam site. Laboratory core drill and saw-cut machines were used to prepare cylindrical specimens. Physico-mechanical parameters are determined according to both the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM, 1986a) and International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM, 2007).
