Abstract
This study deals with the dynamic characterization of the historic Tophane-i Amire building, located in Istanbul. The domed structure was constructed in the 18th century and is known as the first industrial building in the Ottoman times. It was an arsenal building used for the production of cannons and cannon balls. An ambient vibration survey was conducted with the Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition method to identify the dynamic characteristics of the structure. Later, a finite element model of the structure was constructed and numerical dynamic identification was pursued. The obtained experimental and numerical results have been compared and the finite element model of the structure has been tuned to obtain a validated tool to represent the real dynamic behavior of the structure. While the tuned model of the structure is intended to contribute to understanding its structural behavior and evaluate the mechanical properties of masonry, it has also been used for the evaluation of its seismic vulnerabilities. For this purpose, the structure has been analyzed under maximum considered earthquake response spectrum, and stress concentration regions have been determined. The results also serve as data for future structural health monitoring studies related to the structure.
