    (Valens) Aqueduct in Istanbul

    International Journal of the Physical Sciences Vol. 5(11), pp. 1660-1670, 18 September, 2010 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/IJPS ISSN 1992 - 1950 ©2010 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Out-of-plane seismic analysis of Bozdogan (Valens) aqueduct in Istanbul M. Arif Gurel*, Kasim Yenigun and R. Kadir Pekgokgoz Faculty of Engineering, Harran University, Civil Engineering Department, Osmanbey Campus, 63190, Sanliurfa, Turkey. Accepted 17 September, 2010 The Bozdogan (Valens) aqueduct in Istanbul is one of the most prominent water supply structures inherited from the Byzantine period. The paper investigates the out-of-plane seismic resistance of the aqueduct. The structural system of the aqueduct is composed of a series of piers connected to each other with arches at two tier levels. Taking advantage of the structural periodicity, only one pier of the highest part of the aqueduct is considered for the analysis instead of the whole structure. This pier is modelled as a cantilever prismatic element subjected to gravity load and increasing lateral load representing out-of-plane seismic loading. It is assumed that the pier is made of a no-tension material, with a linear stress-strain relationship in compression, and has infinite compression strength. To accomplish the solution, an efficient numerical model and solution procedure developed by La Mendola and Papia for investigating the stability of masonry piers under their own weight and an eccentric top load, is utilised and adapted to the problem at hand. The analysis showed that, although, the aqueduct can withstand out-of-plane earthquake ground motions of medium size and usually encountered periods, it is vulnerable to the ones containing long-period pulses.

At the crossroads of two continents, home to some of the world’s earliest and most influential cities and civilizations, Turkey contains multi- tudes. The graciousness of its people is legendary—indeed it’s often said that to call a Turk gracious is redundant—and perhaps that’s no surprise in a place where cultural exchange has been taking place for millennia. From early Neolithic ruins to vibrant Istanbul, the karsts and cave-towns of Cappadocia to metropolitan Ankara, Turkey is rich in treasure for the inquisi- tive traveler.

It was founded as such, supposedly by Constantine the Great, in his newly founded capital. It remained the primary imperial palace in Constantinople up to and beyond the reign of emperor Constantine VII (913-959), in whose Book of Ceremonies its halls are named. Χρονολόγηση 4th-10th c. Γεωγραφικός εντοπισμός Constantinople, Istanbul 1. Introduction The Great Palace of the Byzantine Emperors in Constantinople was the ceremonial heart of the Byzantine Empire for a millennium, and occupied a site that is now recognized as a World Heritage precinct [Fig. 1].1 The Great Palace has a high cultural and historical significance, exerting a significant influence on both Western European and Levantine palatine architecture, and forming a link between Imperial Roman and medieval palaces. It is, nonetheless, only partially understood. Its remains are largely buried under later structures, notably the Sultan Ahmet Mosque, and can only be interpreted through texts and old representations. 2. The Upper Palace, including the Daphne Palace The oldest portion of the Great Palace, the Palace of Daphne, built by Constantine the Great and his successors in the 4th and 5th centuries, was a complex that is thought to have occupied the site upon which the Sultan Ahmet, or Blue, Mosque now stands. Its immediate context comprised: the Hippodrome and adjacent palaces; the Baths of Zeuxippos; the Imperial forum or Augustaion, where Justinian I erected his equestrian statue on a monumental column in the 6th century; the churches of St.

  • Costantino Da Bisanzio a Costantinopoli(*)1

    Costantino Da Bisanzio a Costantinopoli(*)1

    EUGENIO RUSSO Costantino da Bisanzio a Costantinopoli(*)1 Abstract Constantine was a Christian. Of that there can be no doubt. The surviving signs of paganism visible in Constantine are rather the result of his education and culture. They in no way whatsoever constitute evidence for the continu- ing imperial worship of pagan divinities in the Constantinian period. Examination of the literary sources and ar- chaeological remains allows us to conclude that it is possible to recognize traces of the former Byzantium of Sep- timius Severus in the archaeological sites of the Strategion and a building beneath the Baths of Zeuxippos. In AD 324-330, the city on the Bosporus underwent a radical revolution: the city of Constantine went beyond the walls of the third century AD and it expanded to the west along the east-west axis. The previous city within the third- century walls was completely undermined in its north-south and east-west axes; there arose a new diagonal axis running northeast/southwest, which departed from the column of the Goths and arrived at the Augustaion, at the Hippodrome, and at the Palace (all Constantinian constructions, with St. Irene included). The centre of power (Palace-Hippodrome) was intimately linked to the Christian pole (St. Irene as the first cathedral and the pre- Justinianic St. Sophia that lay on the same axis and even closer to the Palace). According to the Chronicon Pas- chale, the church of St. Sophia was founded by Constantine in AD 326. The emperor deliberately abandoned the acropolis of Byzantium, and Byzantium was absorbed by the new city and obliterated by the new diagonal axis.

    J. Riley Snyder Exploiting the Landscape: Quantifying the Material Resources Used in the Construction of the Long-distance Water Supply of Con stantinople For the new eastern capital city of Constantinople to meet ancient world. As will be discussed below, this comparison the needs of its growing populace in the 4th century, the confi rms that, in order to sustain its population, the Water urban infrastructure was bolstered by large projects, many Supply of Constantinople stretched much further into the rivalling the scale and intricacy of those undertaken during hinterland than that of any other water supply in the ancient the height of Imperial Rome. A prime example of this is the world. While a measure of distance tells of the successes of extensive channel network of the 4th and 5th centuries, built a highly organised administration and workforce as well as in the hinterland of Constantinople to supply fresh water to the city’s great investment in distant natural water sources, so the city from springs hundreds of kilometres away (fi g. 1). much more can be derived from the structure itself. Important questions pertaining to construction organisation derive from the fact that, within these two centuries, Con- stantinople was provided the necessary infrastructure of a History booming metropolis, including the completion of the longest water supply system of the Roman World. Constantinople was poorly situated for natural fresh water What were the material requirements for constructing sources such as wells, springs and streams creating a need for such a long water supply system? How do these require- water from the hinterland 2 .

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-77257-0 - Byzantine Monuments of Istanbul John Freely and Ahmet S. Cakmak Excerpt More information _ I NTRODUCTION his is the story of the Byzantine monuments of Istanbul, the city known to Tthe Greeks as Constantinople, the ancient Byzantium. Constantinople was, for more than a thousand years, capital of the Byzantine Empire, which in its earlier period, from the fourth to the sixth century,was synonomous with the Roman Empire. During those centuries, the religion of the empire changed from pagan to Christian and its language from Latin to Greek, giving rise to the cul- ture that in later times was called Byzantine, from the ancient name of its capital. As the great churchman Gennadius was to say in the mid-fifteenth century,when the empire had come to an end,“Though I am a Hellene by speech yet I would never say that I was a Hellene, for I do not believe as Hellenes believe. I should like to take my name from my faith, and if anyone asks me what I am, I answer, ‘A Christian.’Though my father dwelt in Thessaly, I do not call myself a Thes- salian, but a Byzantine, for I am of Byzantium.”1 The surviving Byzantine monuments of Istanbul include more than a score of churches, most notably Hagia Sophia. Other extant monuments include the great land walls of the city and fragments of its sea walls; the remains of two or three palaces; a fortified port; three commemorative columns and the base of a fourth; two huge subterranean cisterns and several smaller ones; three enormous reservoirs; an aqueduct; a number of fragmentary ruins; and part of the Hippo- drome, the city’s oldest monument and the only one that can surely be assigned to ancient Byzantium.

    Houses, Streets and Shops in Byzantine Constantinople from the fifth to the Twelfth Centuries K.R

    Journal of Medieval History 30 (2004) 83–107 www.elsevier.com/locate/jmedhist Houses, streets and shops in Byzantine Constantinople from the fifth to the twelfth centuries K.R. Dark à Research Centre for Late Antique and Byzantine Studies, The University of Reading, Humanities and Social Sciences Building, Whiteknights, Reading RG6 6AA, UK Abstract This paper presents an analysis and reinterpretation of current evidence for houses, streets and shops in fifth- to twelfth-century Byzantine Constantinople, focussing on archaeological evidence. Previously unidentified townhouses and residential blocks are located. These show greater similarities to Roman-period domestic architecture than might be expected. Changes in the architectural style may be related to social change in the seventh century. Berger’s reconstruction of the early Byzantine street plan is shown to be archaeologically untenable. This has implications for the identification of formal planning and the boundaries of urban districts in the Byzantine capital. The limited archaeological evidence for streets and shops is also discussed. # 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: Byzantine; Constantinople; Houses; Shops; Streets; Archaeology; Cultural change 1. Introduction This paper aims to ask what archaeology can tell us about the houses, streets and shops of Byzantine Constantinople between the fifth and 12th centuries. Abundant textual sources exist for the political, ecclesiastical and intellectual history of the city, but these provide much less information about the everyday life of its inhabitants. One would suppose that archaeology ought to play a central role in elucidating these aspects of urban history, but this has not been the à E-mail address: [email protected] (K.R.

Water supply infrastructure of Byzantine Constantinople Kate Ward, James Crow and Martin Crapper1 Introduction Modern water supply systems – hidden beneath the ground, constructed, expanded, adapted and repaired intermittently by multiple groups of people – are often messy and difficult to comprehend.
