In this study, some Ottoman low carbon steel nails from a 16th century brickmasonry dome of Kilic Ali Pasha Bath in Istanbul and from a 19th century stone dwelling in Phocaea Izmir were studied for their long term corrosion characteristics. Their corrosion layers were examined with a Senterra Bruker micro-Raman spectrometer and Tescan Vega model Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Inca X-Stream 2 Energy-Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Powdered samples scraped from the corrosion layers were studied by X-ray powder diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The corrosion layer consisted of two main sub-layers, namely an 'inner corrosion layer' including a 'reaction front' and a 'transformed medium' which included the depositions from the surrounding media. Peak intensities of X-ray powder diffraction traces were not proportional to the abundance of oxides and oxyhydroxides in the corrosion layer, most probably because of their partly amorphous and nano-size nature. Inner corrosion layer and transformed medium layers were studied in detail by micro Raman spectroscopy at 532 nm, 0.2 mW, 200 s. The Protective Ability Index (PAI) of the corrosion layers were expressed as the ratio of isotropic goethite band thickness to the thickness of reaction front composed of other oxides and oxyhydroxides being magnetite, maghemite, hematite, lepidocrocite, distinguished by micro-Raman which is a unique method for phase identification. PAI was then estimated to be similar to 6-10 for 16th century nails and similar to 3 for 19th century nails. Corrosion mechanisms and PAI were concluded to be affected by compositional characteristics of artefacts and their atmospheric conditions. Copyright (C) 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Evaluation of seismic resistance of traditional Ottoman timber frame houses Aktaş, Yasemin Didem; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman; Türer, Ahmet; Department of Architecture (2011) The aim of this study is to evaluate the seismic resistance of traditional Ottoman timber frame “hımış” structures, which form the major part of Turkey’s cultural heritage, from an engineering point of view. On the other hand, the seismic resistance of traditional Ottoman timber frame structures was not evaluated from an engineering perspective. For the aim of seismic resistance evaluation of traditional Ottoman timber frame houses, the TUBITAK (the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) p...
THE ARCHAEOMETRICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF SOME IRON COMPONENTS FROM THE OTTOMAN PERIOD STRUCTURES Yücel, Nurdan; Saltık, Emine Nevin; Kalkanlı, Ali; Department of Archaeometry (2022-9-02) Characterization of corrosion layers on iron artifacts and their iron oxide phases are important for long term prediction of complex iron corrosion mechanisms in different atmospheric conditions for improvements in corrosion resistance of iron products as well as maintenance and conservation treatments of iron artifacts. Exposed iron components in the Ottoman period historical buildings visually seem to be in quite a good state of preservation, in spite of their longterm exposure to atmospheric conditions. ...
Development of pozzolanic lime mortars for the repaiır of historic masonry Güney, Bilge Alp; Saltık, Emine Nevin; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2012) The use of lime mortars with pozzolanic additives is of special importance for the repair of historic masonry. In this study, the effect of pozzolanic materials on the final characteristics of mortars was investigated. Metakaolin, fly ash and historic brick powder were used as pozzolanic materials in mortar mixes with varying binder:pozzolan:aggregate ratios. Historic mortar samples from rubble stone masonry of Kahta Castle, a medieval structure in close vicinity of the Nemrut Dağ Monument, were also invest...
A comparative study on earthquake resistance of reinforced concrete and masonry residential buildings in small-scale cities of Turkey Er Akan, Aslı; Ünay, Ali İhsan; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2008) Today the vast majority of urban population in Turkey is living in multi-story apartment blocks constructed of reinforced concrete due to the fact that in the late 19th century concrete and steel took the place of traditional materials such as masonry. However, it cannot be denied that masonry is still a crucial material for load bearing walls, internal walls and cladding of buildings. In addition to this masonry construction system has many advantages. From the architectural point of view, it provides flex...
Characterization of ceramic ware fragments from Aizanoi-Turkey by micro Raman, XRPD and SEM-EDX spectrometry CANER, EVİN; Güney, Bilge Alp (2017-04-15) Ceramic fragments from the antique city of Aizanoi, Turkey were investigated by micro Raman spectrometry in conjunction with XRPD and SEM-EDX analyses. Some basic physical characteristics of the ceramic samples were also investigated. Mite and muscovite were determined as the main clay types in the ceramic fragments. Clay used in the production of ceramic wares was found to be calcareous in most of the samples. No high temperature clay minerals were detected in the ceramics. All ceramic fragments were found...
