Earthen materials are commonly used in the 19th century timber frame dwellings of Anatolia as mud brick, mud infill, mud mortar and mud plaster. Some of these timber frame houses still keep their original architectural and technological features while most houses suffer from wrong repairs due to incompatible materials and inappropriate construction detailing. Wrong interventions introduce and/or accelerate many problems, such as dampness problems, salt damage. Comprehensive studies are, therefore, needed to improve the knowledge for the planning of proper repair and maintenance works and keeping them for long periods of time with their authentic features. In this study, the earthen materials were examined in terms of their raw material compositions and physical properties. For the laboratory analyses, the original mud brick, infill mortar and plaster samples were collected from some traditional timber frame houses in Güdül and Beypazari districts of Ankara. The performance characteristics of those materials were examined in terms of: (i) physical properties, such as particle density, bulk density, porosity, water vapor permeability, (ii) raw materials characteristics, such as mineralogical composition of silt, clay and aggregates, binder-aggregate ratio, grain size distribution, fiber content. The results are expected to reveal some technological properties of the traditional earthen materials used in timber frame dwellings of Güdül and Beypazarı. The knowledge obtained will also be useful to define the specifications for the repair materials compatible with the original ones.

Numerical Study on CFRP Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Frames with Masonry Infill Walls
Akin, Emre; Ozcebe, Guney; Canbay, Erdem; Binici, Barış (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014-04-01)
In the last decade, a new strengthening methodology has been developed for reinforced concrete (RC) frames with hollow clay tile (HCT) infill walls by means of diagonally applied carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) fabrics. In the experimental part of a study conducted by the authors, this user-friendly methodology was experimentally investigated considering different aspect (height/width) ratios of the infill walls. In this study, first a numerical model of the FRP strengthened infill walls strengthened...
Seismic strengthening of pin-connected precast concrete structures with external shear walls and diaphragms
KAPLAN, HASAN; NOHUTCU, HALİL; ÇETİNKAYA, NİHAT; Yilmaz, Salih; Gonen, Hasan; Atimtay, Ergin (Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, 2009-12-01)
Pin-connected precast concrete structures are widely used in some European countries of moderate seismicity. However, this structural system is not earthquake resistant because it does not have enough lateral stiffness or lateral-load resistance. Lack of a rigid diaphragm at the roof level imposes severe forces to connections.
Material Characterization of Mudbrick and Neighbouring Plasters in Traditional Timber Framed Structures
Erdil, Meltem; Madani, Nigar; Alam, Burhan; Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe (null; 2017-07-06)
The 19th century timber dwellings reflect the experience of the past on materials and construction technologies of the traditional timber frame structures in Anatolia. However, those houses suffer mostly from wrong repairs due to incompatible materials and inappropriate construction detailing. Wrong repairs introduce and/or accelerate many problems, such as moisture problems, salt decay, thermal and structural failures. Comprehensive studies are, therefore, needed to improve the knowledge for the planning o...
Composite shear stud strength at early concrete ages
Topkaya, Cem; Williamson, EB (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2004-06-01)
Composite action between a reinforced concrete deck and steel girders is usually achieved by making use of welded headed shear studs. The mechanics of shear studs embedded in mature concrete has been investigated extensively in the past. Current literature, however, lacks experimental evidence of steel-concrete interface behavior at early concrete ages. This information is useful in understanding the behavior of bridges during construction. Current testing methods are not suitable for determining the respon...
Engineering geological properties and durability assessment of the Cappadocian tuff
Topal, Tamer (1997-08-14)
Some of the unique landforms, the so-called ''fairy chimneys'', which were formed within the Cappadocian tuff of central Turkey, were used as dwellings in the past and contain culturally valuable wall paintings. However, these structures are undergoing chemical and physical deterioration due to atmospheric effects. For conservation studies, an understanding of the engineering geological properties of the tuff is essential. In this study, emphasis is placed on both material and mass properties of the tuff. T...
