%X In this study, determination of the effects of concrete aggregates on mechanical properties of concrete due to crushing type was investigated. For this purpose, mechanical properties of concrete mixtures such as strength and flow are determined by using aggregates crushed by two different types of crusher. Different types of concrete mixtures are prepared by using aggregates developed by vertically shafted (VS) and impact crushers (IC). Properties of concrete compounds such as water, cement are kept constant for each crushing type to determine the aggregate effect for concrete sets having different mixture rates. Four different types of concrete sets with two different aggregate types have been produced to prevent the predominant influences of concrete compounds except aggregate on mechanical properties. Thus, there was no mineral and chemical admixture used in the mix to obtain the nominative effect of aggregates produced with different crushing types, on strength and flow. Strength values for 7 and 28 days are obtained and comparisons have been made according to crushing type.
