Ottoman public baths located in Turkey were formed by blending different cultures and their bathing traditions of the civilizations inhabited this region throughout time. These buildings consist of a multi-component system involving different parts that are arranged in a highly sophisticated way. Conservation principles of these buildings may differ from case to case. On the other hand, in all cases, the first stage of any conservation implementation should be based on understanding and appreciation of all aspects of their values. For a precise understanding, all features of the building must be defined, investigated, and documented. Ottoman public baths differ from the other monuments in their complex and advanced physical features, especially their construction techniques and installation systems. The public bath buildings constructed in Edirne, which had been an important role as a capital and maintained its importance for a long time, are include many important information about these systems. The aim of this thesis is to document, analyse, and evaluate the construction techniques of the 14-16th century Ottoman public baths located in Edirne.

Evaluation of restoration projects of traditional dwellings in outer citadel of Ankara which are given gastronomic functions
Keskin, Irmak; Asatekin, Nafia Gül; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2008)
Traditional Dwellings in Ankara Citadel have an important place among both Anatolian and Ankara Traditional Dwellings, reflecting certain characteristics of their own. Citadel Area, as one of the oldest settlements in Ankara, has been hosting both residential and commercial activities for a very long period of time. Today, the area has regained its popularity; as a commercial, cultural and tourism center with the potential of its remaining values from the past and conservation movements held in the area sta...
Thermal and hygric expansion characteristics of mortars and bricks used in the dome structures of Turkish Baths from 14th and 15th centuries
Güney, Bilge Alp (2015-10-01)
Thermal and hygric expansion characteristics of mortars and bricks from the dome structures of three Turkish Baths from 14th and 15th centuries were investigated. The linear thermal expansion coefficients of the mortars and bricks were determined in the temperature range from -10 degrees C to 50 degrees C and hygric expansion characteristics of the same samples were studied in the relative humidity range from 30% to 80%. The results showed that the thermal and hygric expansion characteristics of mortars use...
Seismic Resistance Evaluation of Traditional Ottoman Timber-Frame Himis Houses: Frame Loadings and Material Tests
Aktas, Yasemin Didem; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Türer, Ahmet; Erdil, Barış; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman (SAGE Publications, 2014-11-01)
Traditional Ottoman timber-frame houses ("himis") form the major part of the cultural heritage structures in Turkey. There are many studies in the literature regarding the seismic performance of himis houses, which claim that these structures have an inherent seismically resistant property. However, these studies lack a quantitative engineering approach and are based on observations made after contemporary earthquakes. This study presents the results of the seismic resistance evaluation of traditional Ottom...
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...
Chapter 1: Chemical and isotopic constraints on the origin of thermal waters in Anatolia.
Mutlu, Halim; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan; Hilton, David Raymond (CRC Press/Balkema,, 2014-01-01)
In the region comprising Turkey and Greece, people have been using water from geothermal sources for bathing and washing of clothes since ancient times. This region falls within the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt and hence is a locus of active volcanism and tectonism and experiences frequent seismic events. This volcanic and tectonic activity has given rise to over 1500 geothermal springs. Its importance was recognized decades ago and the geothermal water is now being utilized for district heating, industri...
