Summary/Abstract: In this study, possibility of the use of WPC42.5 containing pyrophyllite in the production of white concrete was investigated. Normal and light-weight concrete samples were produced with WPC. Innormal-weight concrete mixture, WPC and white aggregate were used. In light-weight concrete mixtures, WPC, FA, SF and SP were used. Setting time and soundness of cement paste specimens and compressive strength of light and normal weight white concrete specimens were determined. According to the test results, normal weight white concrete can be used in the construction of frames and light-weight white concrete can be used in the production of concrete/reinforce concrete panels.
