Abstract
Developmental stages of construction technologies in Turkey followed various methods and showed differences in practice up to 20th century when the first examples of early-period reinforced concrete structures was created. Following the late 18th century, when traditional construction techniques were applied to new masses and building types, the use of modern bricks in vertical carrier elements together with the means of the 19th century was followed by an increase in masonry construction types of building structures. The paper emphasizes in the effects of traditional construction techniques applied with brick, steel, concrete materials on construction technology in Turkey. Traditional construction techniques are classified and detailed evaluations are made on the design principles of the buildings with historical characteristics.
Highlights
The 20th century modern architectural theme is a complex area and can be diverted differently depending on where the researcher is standing [1]. It had become inevitable for the Ottoman State to be exposed to influences at the point of architectural and engineering applications and to incorporate domestic and imported ideas into the framework of westernization starting from the Tanzimat years
With the help of both architectural and engineering terminology, an eye was kept on the construction techniques used in the past between the westernization period architecture that started to take effect in the Ottoman Empire since the second half of the 19th century and the early reinforced concrete technology that lasted until the 1940s
The basic nuance in this classification is based on the composite construction technology
