“…On the other hand, when we look at the literature, it is seen that there are innumerable works about historical structures and historical mosques in general. A few such works are given in [23][24][25][26][27][28][29] for the sake of sample. Investigation of historical buildings in every aspect and comprehensively will guide us in understanding these structures better and transferring them to future generations with confidence.…”

Along with the walls, columns are the main load-bearing elements in carrying vertical and horizontal loads in most historic masonry buildings. When the mosques of Mimar Sinan, the great Ottoman architect, are examined, it is seen that there is a wide variety in column forms. Motivated by this situation, in this study, the column forms in Sinan's a few mosques were investigated, their geometric dimensions were measured, and the vertical and lateral load carrying capacities of them were determined. The columns examined are the columns of Sinan Pasha, Kılıç Ali Pasha, Üsküdar Mihrimah Sultan, Selimiye, Şehzade and Süleymaniye mosques. Initially, the vertical capacities of the columns were calculated with both the classical stress equation and the Abaqus program, and very close results were obtained with the two calculation methods. Then, lateral load carrying capacities were calculated only by using of the Abaqus program. It has been once again seen and emphasized that height is also important, along with other relevant factors, on the lateral load capacities of the columns.

“…Churches, mosques, city walls, castles, and clock towers built in various parts of the world are the key shapes of monumental ancient buildings [4][5][6]. They characterize a significant part of the Balkan cultural heritage, mainly vulnerable and prone to partial or complete failure under seismic loads as noted in some of the recent earthquakes in the region (Bosnia and Herzegovina-1969;Italy-1976;Montenegro-1979;Albania-2019) [7,8].…”

Basilicas constructed in the post-Byzantine time in Balkans cover a period of 400 years, from the 16th century to the 19th century. These masonry religious objects are of particular interest due to their different building typologies and historical value, so it is important that they be saved for future generations. This paper analyses the static and dynamic response of the Basilica of St. Sotiri near Gjirokastër (Albania). The static response and dynamic properties of the church have been assessed using FEM technique and the performance of the structure is investigated. As a result, important information is obtained to identify the critical regions of the structure and its seismic safety. The aim of this study is to point out that clear insight and information on interpreting the actual response of historical buildings can be obtained by numerical analysis methods. Authors believe that the approach and findings of this case study are useful to understand the load response of a wide range of monumental churches.

“…According to the literature, URM walls transfer interior stresses that develop within structural elements to neighbouring members or foundations [ 1 , 2 ]. Out-of-plane loadings, e.g., those induced by earthquakes and wind, make URM extremely susceptible to being used as a load-bearing component of a structural system due to its low load-carrying capacity and ductility [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. Engineers have therefore determined that structural retrofitting of URM is a crucial issue that has to be addressed.…”

This paper provides a novel Finite Element (FE) simulation to estimate the out-of-plane response of masonry prisms retrofitted with Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) stripes. Empirical data were utilized to develop the computational analysis parameters (mechanical parameters for brick, mortar, and SMA materials) as well as the calibration of the computational FE-based models. For this purpose, a complete micro-modeling approach was applied, assuming perfect contact between mortar joints and brick units. A Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDP) model was developed to define the constitutive relation between brick and mortar. SMA stripes were mortar-installed on the surface of the prisms with a perfect connection. The masonry prism’s verified computational model was utilized to generate parametric research to explore the effect of varying SMA stripe thicknesses and different SMA usage (Ni-Ti or Cu-Zn-Al). The FE study findings indicated that, independent of their material type or thickness, using SMA stripes greatly minimizes brick prism deterioration. SMA stripes greatly decreased residual displacement and plastic strains. Parametric tests, however, revealed that employing Ni-Ti SMA and increasing its thickness is more effective with respect to the masonry prism out-of-plane response than Cu-Zn-Al SMA.
