The Aim, the
Signaficance, and the Expected Outcomes of the Project:
The
present condition of the historical buildings must be studied before any
conservation implementation. Within the scope of these studies, the
scientific analysis of the characteristics and compositions of the
building materials is one of the fundamental issues. These investigations
have great importance in determination of new materials compatible with
old ones. The necessity of these researches was indicated in the
conventions and regulations related with the conservation of historic
buildings. In this context, the aim of this research is to realize
scientific and technical investigations on the characteristics of mortars
and plasters and to provide preliminary knowledge for determination of new
materials for the historical buildings in the Western Anatolia.
In the research;
- historical buildings from
which samples will be taken will be determined through field surveys,
- samples will be taken from the
determined buildings,
- collected samples will be
classified according to the dates,
- laboratory researches will be
realized in order to identify the physical and raw material
characteristics of the samples,
- information which will be
obtained in the result of the analysis will be evaluated and data for
restoration implementation will be derived.
Preservation of original
materials is among the essential principles of the process of restoration.
For this reason, this research which will provide preliminary data for
preservation decisions has a scientific importance. On the other hand,
since there is no published research related with the original material
characteristics of the historical buildings in Western Anatolia, this
study becomes more important. |
