The temple of Augustus in Ankara has stood as a keeper and witness of the region’s historical past for hundreds of years from the time of Galatians and Romans. Bearer of the sign of ancient times not only as carved on its walls but also with its architectural and structural features, this monument now is in the need of engineering intervention to cope with the risk of collapse. Consequently, its structural behavior was analyzed using nonlinear discrete element modeling and linear finite element modeling and several relevant strengthening methods were proposed within this study. Initially, the structure was tested for its ambient vibration characteristics to compare against the analytical model for calibration and its earthquake resistance capacity was investigated with calibrated linear elastic and discrete element analytical models. Measurements recorded by long term structural health monitoring devices previously installed on the structure were also collected and post-processed. Finally, four different strengthening methods divided into two main groups, prepared with “minimum possible intervention” principle in mind, were proposed and their contribution to overall seismic resistance was evaluated.

Seismic Assessment of Monastery of Stoudios (Imrahor Mosque) in Istanbul
Kucukdogan, Bilge; Kubin, Josef; Ünay, Ali İhsan (2010-10-08)
Monastery of Stoudios, dated back to the reign of Eastern Roman Empire, is known to be the oldest surviving -albeit partially- religious building in Istanbul. During sixteen centuries, the building has been exposed to several earthquakes, fires and other minor disasters which have caused considerable damages and partial destruction in some of its sections. As a part of a general master plan for the structural condition assessment of historical buildings and monuments of Istanbul, this study aims to evaluate...
Raw material characteristics and technological properties of some medieval glazed ceramics and tiles in Anatolia
Demirci, S; Caner-Saltik, EN; Turkmenoglu, A; Ozcilingir-Akgun, S; Bakirer, O (2004-01-01)
Byzantine and Seljuk cultures are two important overlapping periods in Anatolia during medieval times. Both cultures had special significance in the production of glazed pottery. In architecture, Seljuk culture had further expanded the use of ceramics as glazed tiles in the buildings. The Seljuk glazed tiles were mainly of mosaic and plain tile types. Only monochrome opaque turquoise and monochrome transparent violet-black coloured tiles were examined in this study. The pottery pieces studied represent the ...
Seismic evaluation and strengthening of nemrut monuments
Aktas, Yasemin Didem; Türer, Ahmet (2015-05-01)
Nemrut Dag Tumulus and Monuments, constructed during the Commagenian Kingdom approximately 2000 years ago on the peak of Mount Nemrut, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Turkey. The region is about 5 km away from the East Anatolian Fault, therefore, this paper focuses on dynamic testing and earthquake simulations carried out within the framework of the Commagene Nemrut Conservation Development Program in order to explain monuments' current condition. The simulations showed vulnerability of cut-stone blocks ...
Structural Evaluation and Strengthening of Zeynelbey Tomb in Hasankeyf, Turkey
Türer, Ahmet (2010-10-08)
Hasankeyf historic settlement area is one the most important sites in southeastern Anatolia which dates back to the 15(th) century. Zeynelbey Tomb is a distinct cylindrical structure has a height of 9.6 m and with double domes extending to an overall height of 16.5m; however, the outer dome suffers from multiple and large vertical tension cracks threatening the overall structural stability and safety of the structure. A preliminary visual inspection and structural evaluation using analytical modeling was ca...
Structural evaluation of Kilitbahir Castle in Canakkale, Turkey
Türer, Ahmet (2013-07-26)
Kilitbahir castle was constructed by Fatih Sultan Mehmet in 1452 - 1463 at European side of Canakkale city to control passage in the strait from the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara. The castle has a very interesting shape in the form of a clover leaf surrounding a triangle shaped central tower. Additional exterior rampart walls protect the castle from the land side. The castle is recently going through a restoration work, while the earlier major restoration works were carried out in 1541 and 1870. This pap...
