  • Structural Engineering Perspective on Historic Building
    Interaction between Theory and Practice in Civil Engineering and Construction Edited by Komurlu, R., Gurgun, A. P., Singh, A., and Yazdani, S. Copyright © 2016 ISEC Press ISBN: 978-0-9960437-2-4 STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE ON HISTORIC BUILDING RESTORATION BURCU BALABAN OKTEN1, MEHMET SELIM OKTEN2, CEM HAYDAROGLU3, and GIANMARIO BENZONI4 1 Faculty of Architecture, Fatih Sultan Mehmet Waqf University, Istanbul, Turkey 2Faculty of Architecture, Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Istanbul, Turkey 3Arup, Istanbul, Turkey 4Dept of Structural Engineering, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, The restoration of historic buildings requires a comprehensive approach through a collaborative effort, as well as multi-disciplinary professionals. According to the general conservative guidelines of the Venice Charter of 1964 and the ICOMOS/ISCARSAH Recommendations for the Analysis and Restoration of Structures of Architectural Heritage of 2003, structural engineers are responsible for repair and strengthening of these structures on the basis of principles of authenticity, reliability, compatibility, durability, reversibility, and monitorability. In restoration projects, engineers often face significant issues due to the intrinsic challenges of the projects themselves, as well as the complex level of interaction with other professionals involved. The main goal of this research project is the identification and evaluation of the most significant challenges encountered by structural engineers in restoration applications in Turkey. Data were obtained from semi-structured interviews with six professionals involved in restoration projects in Turkey. The sample group was chosen based on specific competences and involvement in different phases of restoration projects in order to gain different professional perspectives. The results revealed several issues from the early stages of the projects, such as a lack of records about previous interventions, a lack of standards and guidelines with respect to historic structures.

    1| NEES Network Site Activities 1.0 Network Summary Purposed to improve the understanding of earthquakes and tsunamis and their effects on our nation’s infrastructure, NSF created The George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES). NEES is a shared national network of 14 experimental facilities, collaborative tools, and earthquake simulation software. Together, these resources provide the means for collaboration and discovery in the form of more advanced research based on experimentation and computational simulations of the ways buildings, bridges, utility systems, coastal regions, and geomaterials perform during seismic events. At the core of NEES are fourteen geographically-distributed research sites, each offering unparalleled experimental capabilities. The laboratory types include: Shake Table Facilities University of Minnesota University at Buffalo, SUNY Geotechnical Centrifuge University of California, San Diego Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute University of Nevada Reno University of California, Davis Large-Scale Structural Field Experimentation and Monitoring Cornell University University of California, Los Angeles Lehigh University University of California, Santa Barbara University at Buffalo, SUNY University of Texas, Austin University of California, Berkeley Tsunami Wave Basin University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign Oregon State University Through the results of cutting-edge experimentation across the network, NEES strives to develop and implement effective means of earthquake and tsunami risk mitigation. In addition, NEES looks to educate the community through the development strategic education, training, and outreach events. Though NEES looks to become the prototypical example of dissemination of knowledge to a broad range of audiences, the success of NEES is dependent on the quality and excellence of research done at the site level.
