Abstract
In Turkey, buildings were built with himis, bagdadi and masonry structural elements until 1950. After 1950’s due to the development in reinforced concrete structures, many people who wanted to own a house, made their choices for the reinforced concrete buildings. However, himis, bagdadi and masonry structures that were constructed many years ago are still widely being used. Based on the analysis of the structure in a seismic zone for the damages after an earthquake, it has been found out that himis and bagdadi structures suffer less from the earthquake compared with other types of structures. In this study the behavior of himis and bagdadi structures under lateral loads are being analyzed. Himis and bagdadi structures are modeled and analyzed by using SAP2000. Timber structural elements such as beams and columns are modeled as framed elements. Adobe, brick and stone elements are modeled as solid, and the analysis is conducted under lateral loads. According to the analyses of these types of structures, they are found to be more ductile compared with reinforced concrete and masonry structures.
