Characterization of Mortar in Historical Beylerbeyi Palace
Abstract eng: Beylerbeyi Palace was built between 1861 and 1865 as a royal palace in Istanbul, Turkey. Having a masonry structural system the palace has some earthquake oriented damages. For this reason the structure is investigated. As the initial part, this study aims to characterize the mortar used in historical Beylerbeyi Palace and determine its mechanical properties. The chemical and mineralogical survey has been conducted over the mortar ruins from the original structure. Thin Section (TS), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) analyses have been applied. Mineralogical structure of the mortar has been determined and the mortar is classified as Khorasan type lime mortar used in Ottoman times. By using two different mortar formulas, test specimens are produced and tested after six month of production. Mechanical properties of mortar have been extracted from the obtained tests results by using European norms.
