EARTHQUAKE PROTECTION OF BEYLERBEYI PALACE BY
REVERSIBLE TECHNOLOGIES. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, May 2009, Pages: 168
The historical building stock and seismic risk draw
considerable attention of the engineers for studying
the earthquake performance of these structures and
investigating appropriate protection techniques. The
analysis of these structures poses important
challenges because of the complexity of their
geometry, the variability of the properties of the
construction material, difficulty of the
experimental survey, use of different building
techniques, and the lack of the knowledge on the
existing damage sources. Furthermore the structure’s
cultural value and desire to preserve it for the
future generations demand a high level of protection
against any possible earthquakes. In these respects
the rehabilitation works need a remunerative
scientific approach. Explaining the steps to examine
the earthquake performance of the historic
Beylerbeyi Palace, which is a representative of the
great buildings in the late of 19th century in
Istanbul, and searching the possible retrofit
techniques by means of reversible mixed
technologies, this book is intended to be a guide to
follow for similar historical structures.
