“…Tables 2 and 3 summarize the results of the measurements (q = 18.7 kN/m 3 measured, m = 0.15 assumed). The measured values of the sonic wave speed are typical for this kind of masonry [27][28][29]. Excluding tests 8 and 9, affected by some bias, the average values are: E = 3130 MPa, C.o.V.…”

“…A tenable explanation to this observation is that the gypsum crystals formed during the processing of gypsum mortar and its setting were partly transformed over the years, due to pressure and uctuations in temperature and humidity [26], into anhydrite, a phase alteration in which the shape of the gypsum crystal remained intact whilst the atomic arrangement and chemical formula were affected. This type of crystal is usually termed as anhydrite pseudomorph after gypsum.…”

Gypsum mortar in mausoleum of Seyed Shams al-Din in Yazd, shows incomparable reliefs and molded ornaments. A notable instance of these is the partially damaged gypsum inscription that adorns the iwan of the mausoleum and extends over three sides of it. Apposite conservation of this valuable inscription would call for a structural and technological analysis before its structure-related damages and erosion process could be precisely and systematically examined and documented. Samples were obtained from both the surface and deeper layers of the inscription in question as well as the molded gypsum ornament and the fine coat underlying the latter. The samples were then evaluated using XRD, XRF, and SEM-EDS analyses before the mortars were compared. The results revealed that the interior and surface of this inscription vary structurally, which is partly related to the processing of the mortar and executing the inscription and is partly a function of the mortar erosion process. Erosion and structural alterations in the inner inscription are far more extensive than in the surface, leading to the reduced strength, a main reason for it being the permeation of moisture and soluble salts from the retaining wall to the deeper layers of the gypsum inscription.

“…Repair and strengthening applications are commonly applied as part of restoration works of historical masonry structures for recent years [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Until 1980, the applied practices consist of removing loor arch or timber loor by preventing load-bearing masonry wall, building a secondary load-bearing system apart from the present bearing system by supplying a RC load-bearing system inside large internal spaces, and ruining architectural structure by joining columns and beams inside spaces.…”

This chapter focuses on retroiting of historical masonry structures from the point of seismic resistance based on failure analysis. In historical structures, restoration applications have become necessary because their life cycle of structural and nonstructural members is completed due to natural result of material structure, environmental conditions, and/ or user errors. One of the most important intervention decisions in restoration stages carried out in historical buildings is known as retroited of the structure. The choice techniques of retroiting of the structural members are becoming a very important issue in the scope of restoration of historical masonry structures belonging to the cultural heritage. Additionally, it should be decided to optimally preserve such buildings' original forms and to make interventions to increase the building's service life; in this regard, it is important to preserve the structures' historical identity and constructional value. Therefore, retroiting applications have become essential to prevent the damage level and to have adequate level of structural strength in order to resist dynamic efects such as earthquakes. In this chapter, it is aimed to determine the main principles by using conventional and modern techniques within the scope of laboratory tests and numerical approaches in recovering the historical structures.
