ABSTRACTSTRUCTURAL MODELLING, ANALYSIS, EVALUATION AND STRENGTHENINGOF PERGE SOUTHERN GATE HELLENISTIC TOWERSIşıkoğlu, Orhan MeteM.Sc. in Restoration, Department of ArchitechtureSupervisor: Assoc. Prof.Dr. Neriman Şahin GüçhanCo-Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ahmet TürerJanuary 2012, 122 pagesThe successive struggle of Perge Antique City to resist against aging is clearly signified byHellenistic Towers Ruins, parts of which still reaches up to 20 m high. Being a mostreflecting example located at Anatolia, it clearly signifies its construction period andfunction compared to other examples that constitutes the same features.However, There exist a certain requirement of detailed and wide ranging conservation studyfor finding remedy to cope with risk of further collapse, which is originated from the slendergeometry of Towers Remains. Therefore, the need of a survey on the structural behaviour oftowers with non-linear analytical modelling techniques is fulfilled in this study.Preliminary analytical modelling (linear-elastic, macro models) was performed by usingSAP2000 while, following detailed discrete stone element modelling examinations wereperformed with ANSYS-Ls DYNA, ABAQUS Software. Verification for simulations weremade with results related with ambient vibration dynamic testing performed at EasternTower and Closed-form, simple calculations.In the light of results bound to structural behaviour investigation on reconstitution, stabilityperformance of today's ruins was examined against seismic activities. Four differentstrengthening methods were considered and their contributions to stability were compared iniv

order to reach at the most appropriate intervention scheme obeying contemporary restorationcriteria. The study formed a significant sub branch work of a restoration project of whichcharge was undertaken by SAYKA Restoration, Architecture Ltd. Co. Being a part of multidisciplinary teamwork, structural investigation research was concluded to an optimumsolution, which foreseen “minimum intervention to the building” assuring performanceunder seismic loading of large earthquakes.Keywords: Perge Hellenistic Towers, dry masonry, discrete element modelling, seismicvulnerability, strengthening interventionv

Dr. Ahmet TürerŞubat 2012, 122 sayfaPerge Antik Şehrinin yaşlanmaya karşı verdiği mücadele,en belirgin olarak, halen bazıkısımları 20 m yüksekliğe kadar ulaşan Helenistik Kuleler Kalıntıları’ndan anlaşılmaktadır.Yapıldığı dönem ve mimari özellikleri açısından benzerleri ile karşılaştırıldığındaAnadolu’da yer alan en belirgin örnektir.Ancak Kule Kalıntılarının yapısal narinliklerine bağlı olarak yok olma riski altındabulunmaları, geniş kapsamlı ve ayrıntılı bir çalışma yapılmasını gerektirmektedir. Buna bağlıolarak, kulelerin yapısal davranışının lineer olmayan modelleme teknikleri ile araştırılmasıbu çalışma kapsamında gerçekleştirilmiştir.Birincil analitik modellemeler (lineer-elastik makro-modeller) SAP2000 yazılımı ilegerçekleştirilirken; ayrık eleman modeleri için ANSYS-Ls DYNA, ABAQUS yazılımlarıkullanılmıştır. Modellemelerin doğrulanması arazide, Doğu Kule üzerinde yapılan ortamtitreşim dinamik testleri sonuçları ve basit mühendislik hesaplarınca gerçekleştirilmiştir.Restitüsyon Geometrileri üzerinde yapılan yapısal davranış araştırmaları sonucu elde edilenverilere de bağlı olarak, günümüz kule kalıntılarının, sismik hareketliliklere karşı stabiliteperformansları incelenmiştir.

CHAPTER 11INTRODUCTION1.1Analytical Modelling as a Tool for the Structural Analysis of Historical MasonryBuildingsThe 10,000 years of building activity carried out by the human race has included a need torepair and maintain structures, not only to keep them functional, but also to protect them associal, national and religious symbols of their age. It was during the Renaissance thathistorical structures began to be considered as bearing witness to former civilizations, andthus a heritage to be preserved for future generations. Consequently, in modern societies, acomprehensive conservation consciousness was developed for the preservation of builtheritage not only to satisfy a social need but also as a cultural responsibility. Modern (20 thcentury) conservation considerations are: dynamic, in that the adopted methods should beadaptable to alterations in the conditions of both the heritage itself and the environment;sustainable, in that they should guarantee effectiveness in the long term; and value centered,in that they should promote the participation of different groups from the social spectrum toencourage autonomous preservation (Mason & Avrami, 2002).This idealistic modern approach necessitates a thorough understanding of the architecturalheritage and the preparation of a conservation project that takes into account both its tangibleand intangible characteristics. This can only be achieved through multi-disciplinary scientificconservation studies. In the mid-20th century, the “Venice Charter: International Charter forthe Conservation and Restoration of Monuments” was published as a guide to this multidisciplinary approach. Specifically, Item 2 of charter cited the importance of variousscientific branches and related techniques to be included within conservation activities forthe protection of cultural heritage.On the other hand, the structural consolidation and strengthening of historical heritage1

against the elements is vital if these historical structures are to be prevented from completelyvanishing. In the case of the 18th century Baroque Cathedral of Noto in Sicily (Figure 1.1-a),a regional earthquake caused serious damage to the cathedral six years after unsuccessfulattempts at consolidation in 1996 (Binda et al. 1999). Even masterpieces of engineeringgenius, such as Brunelleschi’s Dome at Santa Maria Del Fiore, face a similar fate, as a seriesof cracks that have appeared near the ribs of the vaulted dome have decreased its bearingcapacity (Ottoni et al. 2010). Despite the fact that the main structure of Hagia Sophia hasbeen repaired and strengthened throughout its life following seismic activity, the shape of thedome of the structure (Figure 1.1-b) has altered significantly, thus making its collapse all themore possible (Croci et al. 1997). In some examples, the lack of a holistic consideration oflocal conditions during the design process has raised the likelihood of collapse, as in the caseof the Tower of Pisa. Furthermore, the sudden collapse of the Civic Tower of Pavia showsthat it is not only natural hazards
