Abstract: (841 Views)
Tabriz is located on a major and active tectonic fault, part of a complex system connecting the North Anatolian Fault in Turkey to the Alborz Fault in Iran. Today, over 600 historical buildings in Tabriz have been identified, all all of which require seismic analysis and preservation. Due to the lack of guidelines for historical buildings, the seismic safety assessment of these structures has been delayed. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to evaluate the seismic safety of historical buildings using Italian guidelines, which demonstrate that this approach provides a solid foundation for a proper assessment based on scientific and computational methods. Six historical buildings from the Qajar era were selected as case studies. The seismic vulnerability of these buildings was analyzed using two different evaluation levels introduced in the Italian guidelines for cultural heritage, which include manual calculations performed using mechanical methods and numerical analyses of the buildings conducted with software. In addition, the effectiveness and accuracy of the mechanical method presented at level one in the seismic safety assessment were compared with the results of numerical analysis. The results indicate the seismic vulnerability of the studied buildings, selected as samples from among the historical houses of Tabriz. Furthermore, the results show that the evaluation methods used are not interchangeable, but belong to two different evaluation levels, that are comparable, with the first level considering a more conservative approach.
