    Estimation of Settlement-Induced Damage in Masonry Buildings From Displacement Measurements
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) Liu, Yiyan; Burd, Harvey; Gulen, Derya Burcu; Dalgic, Korhan Deniz; Gilson, Ben; Ilki, Alper; Acikgoz, Sinan
    In current engineering practice, building damage due to nearby ground excavation activities is typically quantified by processing displacement measurements. Building displacements at discrete points are used to determine deflection measures (such as angular distortion) which are then employed to estimate building strains using elastic beam models; damage is subsequently categorised according to the limiting tensile strain criteria. The reliability of this procedure relies on the extent to which the equivalent beam models employed in the analysis provide a realistic representation of the building behaviour. However, few published investigations are available on this issue. The current paper provides an appraisal of displacement-based building damage estimation techniques by employing digital image correlation displacement data collected from a recent experimental campaign on the settlement response of three half-scale masonry buildings. The results demonstrate that the treatment of buildings with equivalent beam models does not capture building deformation kinematics, potentially leading to inaccurate estimations of damage severity and location. An alternative strain interpretation procedure, inspired by an equivalent frame idealisation of a building fa & ccedil;ade with openings, is proposed. This procedure, which uses a limited number of displacement measurements, offers a robust interpretation of strains. Its effectiveness in estimating damage is assessed through experimental data. It is demonstrated that the current limiting tensile strain criteria need to be modified to provide a reliable estimation of crack widths when using the equivalent frame idealisation.

    Structural Analyses and Assessment of Historical Kamanlı Mosque in Izmir, Turkey
    (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2010) Teomete, Egemen; Aktaş, Engin
    Historical structures are one of the most precious pieces of cultural accumulation. In this study, an interdisciplinary work was conducted to assess the structural condition of a historical masonry structure, Urla Kamanl Mosque in zmir, Turkey. The structure is a member of group of structures, Yahi Bey Complex, which includes a Turkish bath, a tomb, two fountains, and a primary school. The structure dates back to early 14th century to mid-15th century. History investigation, measurement survey, long-term settlement, and moisture observations were conducted. Nondestructive and destructive material tests were performed on stone, brick, and mortar. 3D finite-element model of the structure was used to investigate the critical locations of the structure under its self-weight, seismic load, and settlement load. Linear elastic and nonlinear settlement analyses were conducted to investigate the reason for massive cracks challenging the structural integrity. © 2010 ASCE.
