“…Furthermore, building blocks A and B were separated from the corridor block C by expansion joints. Moreover, the corridor block C was strengthened using steel frames [5][6][7] . The frames were designed to withstand most of the seismic forces acting on block C. The FE model of the existing building was modified to form the building model after restoration, as shown in Figure 6b.…”

Preservation of historical buildings is an important issue to save our cultural heritage is both a record of life and history .In recent years the Turkish government starts urban transformation projects that include renewal and restoration of some historical buildings belongs to the Ottoman period. This paper present the details of a restoration project of a historical building in Istanbul. The selected restoration and strengthening technique aims to save the original architectural fabric of the building that has been changed among the last decades. The building is used as a chest diseases clinic in Istanbul University hospital. The building was built at the late-Ottoman period and composed of four building blocks. The structural system of the buildings is mainly unreinforced masonry URM walls. Seismic performance analysis results of the building before and after the proposed restoration scheme indicate that the resorted building is able to withstand future earthquakes safely.

Development of sustainable concrete has now become a mandatory requirement today due to environmental problems posed by the production of conventional concrete. Many researchers focused their research toward finding alternate materials for cement, sand, steel, etc., and came out with good results. This paper focuses on feasibility of developing sustainable concrete using bamboo as infill, stiffener, and combination of infill and reinforcement in the wall panels. In addition, low-density polyethylene waste also tried as infill material with bamboo as diagonal member. The structural property of bamboo was studied for replacing the conventional steel by designing the wall panels with lower stiffness and weight to avoid the catastrophic effect. The strength and behavior of infill wall panels for different infill cases were studied under uniaxial in-plane loading. Parameters such as maximum load carrying capacity, load-deflection characteristics, and cost effectiveness of bamboo-based wall panel system were considered in the present study. From the experimental results, it was understood that bamboo-based wall panel behaved as a ductile member and failed after due to the formation of micro-cracks. Wall panel specimens were failed B G. Dhinakaran with an out-plan buckling and resisted the force such that the sudden collapse was avoided. It was concluded that an infill wall reduced lateral and vertical deflection, thereby decreasing the probability of collapse. Hence, an infill wall panel could be used as a substitute for conventional wall panel.
