    An Overview on the Structural Monitoring, Assessment and Retrofitting of Historical Structures With a Focus on 13th Century Monuments
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2024) Ilki, Alper; Inci, Pinar; Halici, Omer F.; Demir, Cem; Comert, Mustafa; Kuran, Fikret
    Monumental historical structures affirm natural and cultural identity and hence they should be transmitted to future generations. The protection and preservation of these structures against aging and natural hazards, particularly seismic actions, requires a comprehensive approach including diagnosis of the present condition of the structure and enhancement of structural capacity for disaster mitigation, if necessary. It is obvious that due to their historical values, any attempt towards the preservation of the monumental historical structures must be carried out with respect to the principles of integrity and authenticity. In this study, the structural performance assessment procedures, implementation of structural health monitoring systems and seismic strengthening strategies are discussed and described with reference to 13th-century monumental historical structures in Turkiye. The structural engineering aspects of recent activities for the restoration and preservation of the Great Mosque and Hospital of Divrigi (a world heritage listed structure) and Sivas Ulu Cami (Mosque) Minaret are briefly presented. In light of the structural analysis and monitoring results, recommendations for interventions to these monumental structures are outlined.

    Structural Assessment of the 13th Century Great Mosque and Hospital of Divrigi: a World Heritage Listed Structure
    (12th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions (SAHC 2021), 2021) İlki, Alper; Berlucchi, Nicola; Demir, Cem; Şanver, Ali Naki; Hurata, Ali; Cömert, Mustafa; Halıcı, Ömer Faruk
    The Great Mosque and Hospital of Divrigi is located in the central eastern partof Turkey, in Divrigi, Sivas. The historical facility consists of a monumental mosque anda two-story hospital, which are adjacent to each other. The structure dates back to13th century Mengujekids period and has been listed by the UNESCO as a World Heritagesince 1985. Great Mosque and Hospital of Divrigi is particularly notable for its monumentalstone portals that are decorated with three-dimensional ornaments carved fromstone. The structural system of the monument consists of multi-leaf stone masonrywalls and stone piers that support the roof structure which consists of stone and brickarches and vaults. The structure is located about 90 km away from the North AnatolianFault Line, that has been causing several destructive earthquakes. Consequently, thestructure is prone to destructive seismic activities. In this study, after a briefintroduction on the structural system and current condition of the structure, thestructural performance of the Great Mosque and Hospital of Divrigi is investigatedthrough site observations and structural analyses. For this purpose, linear and nonlinear 3Dfinite element models of the structure are developed and the structure is examined under theeffects of vertical loads and seismic actions. In the light of the analyses results,recommendations for potential interventions are outlined for further preservation of thestructure.
