The study was focused on the in-situ non-destructive examination of limestone and sandstone statues in Nemrut DaÐ Monument to determine their state of deterioration and the target areas for the application of conservation treatments. The examinations were done by the combined use of quantitative IR thermography (QIRT) and ultrasonic testing supported by the laboratory measurements to obtain standard data from the reference samples. The in-situ QIRT analyses were promising particularly for the detection of detached areas in the forms of scales, stone fragments getting ready to be lost, as well as for the assessment of cracks. The ultrasonic testing allowed soundness assessment of those detached parts and stone surfaces within a crack network. The combined use of those methods was useful to point out the emergency areas that needed conservation treatments and their monitoring.

An Investigation of landslide at KM: 12+200 of Artvin - Savsat junction - Meydancık provincial road Topsakal, Ebru; Topal, Tamer; Department of Geological Engineering (2012) The purpose of this study is to determine the most suitable remediation techniques via engineering geological assessment of the landslide that occurred during the construction of Artvin-Şavşat Junction - Meydancık Provincial Road at Km: 12+200 in an active landslide area. For this purpose, the geotechnical parameters of the mobilized geological material which is colluvium along the sliding surface were determined by back analyses of the landslide at three geological sections. The landslide were then modeled...
Evaluation of protective structures in archaeological sites for in situ conservation of achitectural remains and artifacts Ertosun, Atiye Işıl; Özgönül, Nimet; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2012) Artifacts are moved to museums after the excavations in order to provide an indoor protection, while the immovable findings remain exposed to environmental conditions and human activity. In order to conserve these architectural remains made of vulnerable material, mosaics and wall paintings in situ, covering structures are designed offering temporary or long-term sheltering, preserving and exhibiting facilities. The aim of the study is to evaluate these protective structures. In this study, national and int...
Challenges in use of geographical information systems (GIS) in a research for understanding conservation of cultural heritage in Bursa Alp, Sermin Cakici; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman (2017-01-01) Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to present a framework of introducing a proper method to document and to analyze conservation process of cultural heritage in Bursa, known as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Turkey and to discuss challenges in use of geographical information systems (GIS) for assessment of a complex data collected and analyzed during different phases of the historic researches.
Deterioration of Nemrut sandstone and development of its conservation treatments Akoğlu, Kiraz Göze; Saltık, Emine Nevin; Department of Architecture (2011) In this study, it was aimed to develop conservation methodologies for the historic sandstones using the case of Nemrut Mount Monument to help their survival in open air conditions. The main conservation approach of this study was holistic as well as aiming at minimum intervention targeted to the problem areas. The most important weathering forms of Nemrut Sandstones were material loss due to loss of scales and granular disintegration as well as detachments by scales, back weathering due to loss of scales, c...
The Role of cultural heritage in international politics: an analysis of the negative heritage sites in UNESCO world heritage Tomaz, Gamze Zehra; Çıtak Aytürk, Zana Ayşe; Department of International Relations (2020) This thesis analyses the role of cultural heritage in international politics by focusing on UNESCO and its management of negative heritage sites. The thesis first examines the historical development of the cultural heritage management system. Then, UNESCO and its management system are introduced by looking into World Heritage List and components of the system. Lastly, negative heritage sites in UNESCO World Heritage List are evaluated. By focusing on conflictual nature of the cultural heritage, it is propos...
