Abstract
This research study effect size of terrazzo stone on modulus of rupture and both surface and
total absorption of pre-cast terrazzo tiles. Specimens of tiles were prepared with the same type and
different size (standard) of terrazzo stone. Specimens of tiles were tested after curing and finishing at
age 28- days according to standard methods to determine the modulus of rupture and both surface and
total absorption of the tiles. The results showed that there is objective relationship between size of
terrazzo stone used in tiles and modulus of rupture, while both surface and total absorption of the tiles
is proportional inversely with the size of terrazzo stone with slightly change.
