    Characteristic Architectural Elements of Traditional Barbaros Houses With a Single-Living Space and Their Relationship With Daily Life
    (Istanbul University Press, 2023) Saribekiroǧlu, Ş.; Kul, F.N.
    Barbaros is a rural settlement in Urla, Izmir, Turkey. This study aims to understand the architectural elements of Barbaros houses with a single-living space, their spatial organization, relation with daily life, and the local terminology for them. Moreover, it is aimed to reveal possible similarities and dissimilarities between architectural elements of other singleliving space rural houses in different settlements in close geography. The site survey data was collected in 2016, 2017, and 2020. Fourteen houses were examined, all of which still preserve their original spatial characteristics and architectural elements. The plans and architectural elements of each of the 14 buildings were documented in sketches and photographs. The architectural elements of each house and their characteristics, including form, material, and location in space, were analyzed. The Barbaros case was compared with other rural settlements in Çeşme, Karaburun and Urla. Oral interviews were conducted with 13 people to reveal the relationship between architectural elements and daily life. © 2023 The Author(s).

    Characteristics of Byzantine-Period Lime Mortars and Plasters From the Anaia Church (kadikalesi)
    (Institute of Metals Technology, Ljubljana, 2022) Işık, Tuğçe; Uğurlu Sağın, Elif
    In this study, Byzantine- period lime mortars and plasters used in the Anaia Church in Ku degrees adasy- Aydyn were examined in order to determine their characteristics and investigate the continuity of the lime mortar technology through centuries in the Anaia Church. The results will also contribute to future conservation studies at the site. Basic physical properties, raw-material compositions and hydraulic properties of lime mortars and plasters; mineralogical and chemical compositions, microstructural properties of binders, aggregates and limes; and pozzolanic activities of aggregates were determined using RILEM test methods, XRD, SEM-EDS and TGA. Mortar samples were comprised of natural aggregates whereas lime plasters were made of brick aggregates. Analyses revealed that plasters were slightly less dense and more porous than mortars due to the porous structure of the brick aggregates. All mortars and plasters were hydraulic due to the use of highly reactive pozzolanic aggregates. The basic physical properties, raw-material compositions, mineralogical and chemical compositions of mortars and plasters were found to be similar throughout the construction periods spread over different centuries. These similarities revealed the conscious knowledge of the lime mortar technology during the Byzantine period in Western Anatolia.

    Characterization of Yellow Patina on Stone Surfaces by Instrumental Analysis Including Libs
    (Taylor & Francis, 2022) Badur, Fulya; Aras, Nadir; Yalçın, Şerife; Böke, Hasan
    Yellow patina formed on the stone surfaces of historical buildings, monuments, and archaeological structures due to weathering is considered a value of the building in the conservation of cultural heritage studies. Although yellow patina layers can be easily distinguished on white marble surfaces, it is not possible to distinguish them on the yellow travertine surfaces with the naked eye. It should be taken into account in yellow travertines as well as marble surfaces before conservation treatments of the stone. In this study, mineralogical and chemical compositions and the thicknesses of yellow patina layers formed on yellow travertine and marble surfaces in Aizanoi, Aphrodisias, and Hierapolis archaeological sites in Turkey were analyzed in order to constitute a conservation approach in the archaeological sites. In this respect, XRD, FT-IR, SEM-EDX, and LIBS were used in the determination of compositions and thicknesses of yellow patina. Although LIBS analysis is a more convenient method to investigate patina layers on stone surfaces, this technique is not as well known as the others. Yellow patina layers contained calcium oxalate in the form of whewellite (CaC2O4.H2O). Their thicknesses were between 15 and 100 μm and should be protective against weathering on travertine and marble surfaces. Highlights LIBS analysis seems to be the most convenient micro-destructive method to estimate the thickness of the yellow patina layers on the marble and yellow travertine surfaces. The determination of the thickness of the yellow patina is critical to keep irreversible cleaning interventions, especially for the yellow travertines due to their similar colors. Yellow patina is mainly composed of calcium oxalate with clay minerals and organic compounds.

    Plaster Characteristics of Byzantine Wall Paintings in Western Anatolia
    (Institute of Metals Technology, 2022) Şerifaki, Kerem; Böke, Hasan
    In this study, the execution technique and material characteristics of the plaster layers of Byzantine wall paintings from three archaeological sites (Anaia, Olympos and Aigai) from western Anatolia were examined for the purpose of their conservation. Throughout the study, mineralogical and chemical composition of the plaster layers were determined with a scanning electron microscope coupled with an X-ray energy dispersive system (SEM-EDS) and X-ray diffraction analyses (XRD). Reflected light microscopy (RLM) and SEM studies conducted on polished cross-sections of samples revealed the stratigraphy and microstructural properties of the plaster layers of the Anaia Church (4th–12th centuries), Baºpýnar Church (13th century) in Olympos and a Byzantine settling and the Chapel (13th century) in Aigai. Throughout the research, pure lime and aggregates in the plasters of Aigai, as well as magnesium-rich lime and straw in the plasters of Anaia and Baºpýnar were determined. The plasters from the Anaia and Baºpýnar Churches exhibit characteristics similar to the samples from the post-iconoclastic period due to a similar raw-material use. In the samples from Aigai, plastering techniques such as marmorino, intonachino and cocciopesto, indicating earlier periods, were observed. As a result of this study, it was concluded that the number and characteristics of the plaster layers from the paintings had been applied intentionally in accordance with the technique of the painting. Plaster characteristics of the wall paintings in western Anatolia from the Byzantine period were found to be similar to the ones in Ýstanbul, the Balkans, Crete and Cyprus. The results of this study will guide the conservation efforts of the wall paintings.

    Microstructural Characteristics of Mortars Prepared by Hot Lime Mix
    (Union of Croatian Civil Engineers and Technicians, 2020) Şerifaki, Kerem; Uğurlu Sağın, Elif; Böke, Hasan
    The effect of lime characteristics and hot lime mix method on hydraulic, microstructural and mechanical properties of mortars is determined by producing mortars from quicklimes of two different marbles and two limestones. Results of SEM-EDS, XRD and TGA analyses reveal that the porous microstructure of mortars and spongy texture of calcite crystals are the indicators of the hot lime mix method. This study shows that characteristics of limestones used for the production of limes, as well as the preparation method, directly affect hydraulic, mechanical and microstructural properties of mortars.

    Historic Collective Shelter as Heritage: the Cases in Hurşidiye, Kurtuluş and Sakarya Neighborhoods in Konak, Izmir
    (İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2021) Hamamcıoğlu Turan, Mine; Akpınar, Figen; Toköz, Özge Deniz
    Historical collective shelters, yahuthanes or cortejos, are an alternative form of housing that were developed to provide secure sheltering of the groups who were disadvantaged in terms of economic, social, and cultural aspects in the Ottoman city. They have played a significant role in history as a building type that made possible cohabitation of groups, with moral and material problems, and struggling to maintain their integrity despite hardship. This study deals with a group of historical collective shelters in the traditional commercial center of Izmir dating mainly to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The objective is to understand the historic evolution of collective shelters (yahuthane, cortejo) in Hursidiye, Kurtulus and Sakarya neighborhoods of Konak district in Izmir, to define their cultural values, to analyze their social and spatial development, to present their physical characteristics and evaluate their preservation problems. Eleven collective shelters were documented in the studied site, which is a portion of the traditional commercial center of Izmir (Kemeralti). The site comprehends the ruins of the Roman Agora and the remains of the public buildings dating to the pre-modernization period of the Ottoman Empire as well as the late Ottoman urban layout. As a method, the preliminary studies were reviewed, the land registers were surveyed, the present base map together with the historical maps were overlapped and the case studies were conducted using conventional techniques of architectural and urban conservation. The study has documented the interaction of Muslim and Jewish communities and how the collective living habits of these ethnic groups living in collective shelters differed from standard residential life at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries in the traditional commercial center of Izmir. Though collective shelters in the historic center of Izmir have been studied in the literature, their specific location on the map was not available. This study has provided locations of the shelters and evaluated the architectural characteristics of their remains. The traces and remains of the historic collective shelters should be preserved as elements contributing to the integrity of the multi layered city.

    Kültür varlıklarımızın en hassas bileşenlerinden olan duvar resimlerinin korunmasında, resimlerin özgün malzeme özellikleri ve yapım tekniğinin belirlenmesi önemli aşamalardan biridir. Bu çalışma kapsamında İzmir Bayraklı’da yer alan Yahya Hayati Paşa Konağı’nın duvar ve tavan resimlerinin yapım tekniği ve malzeme özellikleri 2010 yılında yapıya ağır hasar veren yangın öncesinde alınan örnekler üzerinde gerçekleştirilen analizler ile belirlenmiştir. Duvar resimlerinin sıva ve astar tabakalarının, boyayı oluşturan bağlayıcı malzeme ile pigmentlerin mikro-yapısal özellikleri, mineralojik ve kimyasal kompozisyonları; optik mikroskop, kızılötesi spektroskopisi, X ışınları kırınım cihazı (XRD) ve EDS üniteli taramalı elektron mikroskobu kullanılarak tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma, resimlerin kireç sıva üzerinde yer alan organik bağlayıcı ve çeşitli beyaz pigmentlerden oluşan hazırlık tabakaları üzerinde yağlı boya tekniği ile uygulandığını göstermiştir. Resimlerin yapımında bitkisel yağın rengini beyazlatmak amacıyla çinko oksit (ZnO), kurşun beyazı $(PbCO_3)$ ve baryum beyazı $(BaSO_4)$ kullanıldığı belirlenmiştir. Resimlerin yapımında kırmızı için vermiyon (HgS), mavi için ultramarin $(N_{a6-10}Al_6Si_6O_{24}S_{2-4})$, yeşil için zümrüt yeşili $(3Cu(AsO_2)_2.Cu(CH_3COO)_2)$ ve kahverengi için kırmızı okra $(Fe2O_3$, kil mineralleri) kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu ana pigmentler dışında, dolgu malzemesi olarak kullanılan baryum beyazı (BaSO4) ve kurşun kırmızısı pigmentinin $(Pb_3O_4)$bozulma ürünlerinden biri olan anglezit (PbSO4) tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma, yanarak yok olmuş bir kültür varlığının süslemelerinin yapım tekniği ve malzeme özelliklerinin belgelenmesi ile yapının onarımı aşamasına veri oluşturacaktır.

    Helenistik Kulelerde Yanal Yüke İlişkin Düzlem İçi ve Düzlem Dışı Duvar Davranışının Duvar Profilleri ve Açıklık Düzenlerine Bağlı Olarak İncelenmesi
    (Gazi Üniversitesi, 2020) Gençer, Funda; Turan, Mine; Aktaş, Engin
    Dry masonry wall profiles constructed without using bonding material between blocks are encountered in different building types dated to Greek, Hellenistic and Roman periods. Depending on development of earthquake experiences, dry masonry wall profiles vary in terms of wall thickness, number of layers, relationship of layers and size, form, organization and relationship of blocks. In this study, the construction details increasing the structural strength in watch towers constructed in Hellenistic Period are aimed to be determined. This study is limited with investigation of effect of wall profiles and opening organizations on in-plane and out-of-plane wall behaviors under lateral loading. Primarily, wall profiles and opening types of dry masonry towers in ancient Caria, Pamphylia and Cilicia regions, that have not lost authenticity and integrity or had information about their authentic form, were documented. By using gathered data, hypothetic towers with different wall profiles and opening types are designed. To determine in-plane and out-of-plane wall behavior of hypothetic towers, simulation of quasi-static tilt analysis based on equilibrium were carried out, and form changes at walls and collapse angles of towers were identified. Wall profile and opening properties effecting on structural strength under lateral loading were determinedd.

    Proposals for Monitoring Current Conservation Condition of Historical Masonry Buildings: Matrone Church and Çardak Han Cases;
    (Istanbul University Press, 2020) Durmuşlar,F.; Ipekci,E.; Turan,M.H.; Aktaş,E.
    The aim of this study is to transfer the international developments related to the process of diagnosis and monitoring of historical masonry structures to the national area. The method chosen is to test the recommendations made at the international level on national cases and to discuss the results obtained by comparing them. A review of preliminary studies, on-site observations, measured surveys, material characterizations, mapping and visual analysis have been carried out. An examination of structural characteristics and observed failures have also been detailed. Related risks have been evaluated with criteria developed by taking into consideration condition classes defined in the UNI EN 16096, titled Conservation of Cultural Property - Condition Survey and Report of Built Cultural Heritage. According to the defined risks and classes, priorities of interventions were determined. Two historical masonry buildings which possess characteristics of different periods and present different damage types were selected: Matrone Church in Ildiri, Çeşme, Izmir and Çardak Han in Çardak, Denizli. The condition reports of the selected buildings have been prepared. The critical points in the condition reporting of historical masonry buildings were determined: accurate comprehension of the authentic structural characteristics and related failures have priority in maintaining historical masonry structures. Identification of condition class and risk assessment of each historic masonry building should be made in accordance with a standard specific to the cases of our country, but in line with the European standards and current developments in the field of architectural restoration. Thus, it will be possible to evaluate the conservation state of our masonry assets in comparison with each other. The content and priority of interventions can be well planned with the participation of the necessary disciplines. © 2020 The authors.
