Historical masonry structures are important cultural assets which reveal the social, archaeological, aesthetic, economical, political, architectural and technical features of their times. Within the course of the time, the structures have been exposed to the destructive effects of the nature and the man. Some has been able to survive somehow and others were totally ruined. Most of the remained structures are in vulnerable condition to upcoming effects and for the continuity of their presence, structural strengthening applications are needed. A variety of applications are used with different levels of respect to original fabric and different extents of intervention within the principles of international charters that regulate the intervention on historical monuments. In this study, a method of strengthening for the historical masonry constructions is developed in a general sense by the use of steel skeleton systems. In the proposed methodology, it is aimed to approach the intact structural conditions as much as possible in the strengthened structure. For the study a 3D model is created to compare the behaviors of the intact and the modified structure. In the modified model some structural elements are replaced by the steel skeleton system as a strengthening application. The behavioral investigation of the two models is performed in the finite element platform. Finally, it is certified that this methodology successfully efficient in approaching the original intact condition of the structure under concern as well as complying with the restoration principles.

The restoration project of the Old Agricultural Bank building in Mersin Naycı, Nida; Özgönül, Nimet; Department of Architecture (2005) This thesis subjects the old Agricultural Bank Building in Mersin, which is one of the important traditional late 19th and early 20th century buildings of Mersin and which reflects important architectural features of that period. The main scope of this thesis is to prepare a conservation and restoration project for the أOld Agricultural Bank Buildingؤ which will pass the historical, architectural, cultural values of the building to the next generations. The study is composed of six subjects. In the introduc...
An investigation on the water supply and drainage systems of historical turkish baths Dişli, Gülşen; Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe; Department of Architecture (2008) Historical Turkish baths still keeping their functional systems represent their original architectural and building technologies. Studies on the functional systems of historical baths are therefore needed to discover such technologies and to maintain them in working order. This study was conducted on a 15th century historical Turkish bath, Şengül Hamamı, in Ankara for assessment of its water supply and drainage systems. These systems comprised of hot and cold-water supply, wastewater and rainwater drainage,...
A new approach for defining the conservation status of early Republican architecture, case study : primary school buildings in İzmir Kul, Fatma Nurşen; Madran, Emre; Department of Architecture (2010) International discussions on the conservation of the twentieth-century architectural heritage emphasize the diversity of the whole of the built environment of the entire century, rather than limiting consideration to canonic examples of the architectural historiography during the identification and assessment of the properties to be conserved. In contrast to this international holistic and inclusive approach, the approach to the identification and assessment of the properties in Turkey has in general been s...
"The citadel of Ankara": Aspects of visual documentation and analysis regarding material use Sülüner, Hasan Sinan; Bakırer, Ömür; Department of Architecture (2005) This thesis examines the history, written sources and physical aspects of the citadel at Ankara with respect to building materials, masonry styles, design and topography. The distribution of different types of building materials in selected areas are analyzed and documented by using modern methods.
A research on design principles in historic built landscapes case study: Odunpazari, Eskişehir Kıvılcım, Figen; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2008) In this thesis, the problem of the principles of new designs in historic built landscapes is discussed. In approaching the problem, a theoretical framework is developed and the general principles regarding new buildings in historic settings are derived from the theoretical context. Subsequently, the proposed principles is tried to be adapted to the case of Odunpazarı historic urban fabric. Finally, a Youth Center for a specific Project Area in Odunpazarı is proposed, and the integration of the proposal to t...
