Özet

Masonry historical monuments that connecting the past and the present are of major importance in terms of reflecting the knowledge and property of different cultures. This explains that why the protection of historic monuments is so important. The preservation of the historical monuments that constitute our historical and cultural heritage is only possible if they are examined in detail, their problems are solved and their solution methods and techniques are improved. One historical masonry mosque was selected to study in this paper. The mosque is modeled and analyzed by using SAP2000 finite element software in accordance with the dimensions of an architectural building survey. Seismic assessment of the monument was carried out via three-dimensional time-history dynamic analyses of the structure. Minimum and maximum values of displacements, base shear. and stress were interpreted, and the results were displayed graphically and discussed the earthquake motion was applied in two different directions which is X and Y The seismic capacity of this building has been determined for varied earthquake grade. As a result of the analysis, displacements, stresses (tensile and compressive), base shear force were calculated under the effect of earthquakes. The Structural safety of the mosque was evaluated, and three-dimensional finite element analysis gave a general idea about the structural performance of the mosque.
