The condition assessment of historical structures exhibits additional difficulties in comparison to that of modern structures such as the lack of applicable standards and eventual complications that can arise during material characterization. The effective use of appropriate Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) and health monitoring techniques would help to overcome these difficulties. The need for general guidelines is therefore obvious for deciding which non-destructive techniques and monitoring methods should be utilized for the condition assessment of historical structures. In this paper, the authors try to introduce a framework for the formation of such a system for condition assessment of historical masonry structures. Within this respect, some principle parameters like functionality, construction materials/techniques, soil/foundation type, age and location of the structure, seismic/climatic/environmental characteristics of the region were determined. Furthermore, a visual inspection based damage evaluation flowchart was developed using defined common input parameters. The NDE technique and monitoring type were aimed to be obtained as output parameters, at the end of the interrelated steps explained in this paper.

Harmonic response of large engineering structures with nonlinear modifications Kalaycıoğlu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) During the design and development stages of mechanical structures, after each modification made in order to satisfy design criteria, dynamic characteristics of the structure change and should be determined through reanalyzing the structure dynamically. Due to the significance of computational time and cost in design processes, it is inevitable for structural modification methods, especially for large systems, to become involved in predicting the dynamic behavior of modified structures from those of the orig...
Seismic behavior of double walls with continuity reinforcement Binici, Barış; Canbay, Erdem (null; 2015-07-21) The conventional precast construction has deficiencies especially related to its connections between structural elements. Hence, its use in earthquake zones has been limited. However, the seismic performance of these systems can be improved by a semi-precast system, namely the double wall system. In this structural system, both precast and cast-in-situ concrete elements are utilized during the construction period, i.e. precast concrete shells are benefitted as a formwork to place cast-in-situ concrete. In t...
Visual evaluation and remaining service life assessment of a reinforced concrete arch bridge: Cayirhan bridge Caner, Alp; Türer, Ahmet (2014-07-11) Remaining service life assessment of bridges are needed when the visual inspection results indicate that there is serious degradation of structural members due to aging leading to not functioning as originally designed. These inspections can include detailed visual inspection of elements including recording crack widths and patterns, under water inspection, truck load tests, and material tests. This paper focuses on the inspection methods and determination of the remaining service life of a 57 year old rein...

Authenticity in house museums: a tool for the reinterpretation of architectural space Uz, Melek Pınar; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2016) This thesis is a critical inquiry into the term “authenticity” in the relationship between the architectural aspects of museum spaces and the display context. By reinterpreting the expanded definitions and conceptualizations in the fields of art, museology and preservation and conservation studies, authenticity in architecture refers to all the architectural qualities, forming the physical and spiritual constitution of an architectural product. The aim of this study, in this sense, is to reintroduce authent...
