Structural and Earthquake Response Analysis of the Muradiye Mosque in Bulgaria

Abstract eng:
Recently, a large scale restoration has been started by the Great Municipality of Istanbul for the Muradiye Mosque of Filibe (Plovdiv), Bulgaria. Within this activity, the building is investigated in detail, damages of the building have been documented and soil testing has been carried out to identify properties of the soil and the foundation configuration. In this study, structural and earthquake responses of the Muradiye (Djumaya) Mosque of Filibe, Bulgaria, are investigated and by using these information a detailed repair and strengthening project is developed. The paper presents a summary of the results of the structural response analysis including seismicity of the building. Main principles of the recommended repair and strengthening interventions for the building are given as well. The authors participated to the project in developing geotechnical and civil engineering analysis and supplying technical support for its evaluation and strengthening.
