    Investigation Procedure for the Diagnosis of Historical Minarets: Inclined Minaret of Sivas Ulu Cami (mosque)
    (Springer, 2024) İnci, Pınar; Halıcı, Ömer Faruk; Aldırmaz B.; Çoban S.; Halıcı, Ömer Faruk; Cömert M.; Kiraz F.; Comert, M.; Aldirmaz, B.; Ilki, A.; Coban, S.; 02.04. Department of Civil Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF University
    The inclined minaret of Sivas Ulu Cami (Mosque) from the 13th century Danishmend Period is one of the most invaluable architectural heritages in Turkey. The extent of inclination of the minaret towards the North-West direction, the seismicity of the region, and structural damages that occurred in time have emphasized the need for comprehensive structural and geotechnical investigations. Accordingly, a rehabilitation project is currently going on under the coordination of the General Directorate of Foundations of Turkey. Within the scope of the project, first, a series of field surveys have been conducted to obtain the current features of the minaret including the characteristics of the structural system, damages, deviation from the vertical axis, ground conditions and foundation details. In addition to that, a monitoring system including inclinometers, linear potentiometers and accelerometers has been mounted for tracking the evolution of deformations and damages in time under environmental influences and extracting the dynamic properties of the minaret. Findings from the field survey and monitoring system were used for constructing an analytical model of the structural system of the minaret. Then nonlinear time history analyses were conducted under various strong ground motion records to estimate the seismic performance of the minaret when subjected to earthquakes of different characteristics. The results showed that the tensile stresses that occurred due to seismic actions exceeded the tensile strength of the brick masonry at the region of the transition segment and the cylindrical body (top level of the boot).

    Out-Of Seismic Performance of Bed-Joint Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (aac) Infill Walls Damaged Under Cyclic In-Plane Displacement Reversals
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) İlki, Alper; Halıcı, Ömer Faruk; Demir, Uğur; Halıcı, Ömer Faruk; Zabbar, Yassin; 02.04. Department of Civil Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF University
    The infill walls made of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC), which is a lightweight, fire resistant and energy efficient material, provide effective insulation solutions for building types of structures and becoming more and more popular in earthquake prone regions. Although the number of experimental tests examining the seismic response of clay brick infills is extensive, the amount of prior research on infill walls built of AAC blocks is rather limited. Past research revealed that the use of bed-joint reinforcement is one of the promising solutions to improve the global seismic response of masonry walls by enhancing strength and displacement capacity. In this study, the out-of-plane (OOP) seismic performance of AAC infill walls with flat-truss and innovative cord-type bed-joint reinforcement is experimentally evaluated. Also, consideration is given to the prior in-plane (IP) damage, which was found to degrade the seismic performance of infills in OOP direction. For this purpose, three IP and four OOP, in total, seven experimental tests were performed on four full-scale AAC infill wall specimens. The test parameters were selected in such a way as to make it possible to parametrically compare the OOP performance of AAC infills with flat-truss and cord-type bed-joint reinforcements with unreinforced AAC infill walls, together with the effect of prior IP damage on the OOP response of unreinforced AAC infill walls. It was found that the use of innovative cord-type bed-joint reinforcement improved the OOP strength to a similar extent to what was obtained from the truss-type reinforced specimen. In terms of ultimate displacement and energy dissipation capacity enhancement, the specimen with cord-type reinforcement performed better. In addition, the damages formed due to IP cyclic displacement reversals up to 0.005 drift ratio, which is defined as the drift limit for buildings with brittle infill walls in certain design codes, resulted in a significant reduction in the OOP strength and stiffness properties of AAC infills. The theoretical OOP strength calculations were found to provide unconservative strength values for the IP-damaged specimens.

    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; Halıcı, Ömer Faruk; Berlucchi, Nicola; Demir, Cem; Şanver, Ali Naki; Hurata, Ali; Cömert, Mustafa; Halıcı, Ömer Faruk; Kuran, Fikret; 02.04.

    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.
