Abstract

AbstractThis paper aims to determine the dynamic characteristics, such as natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping ratios, of two different domed structures, namely Hamza Pasa Mausoleum and Kavak Meydan Fountain, built in the sixteenth century by experimental methods. The experimental dynamic characteristics are used to develop initial analytical models and update these models. Analytical models of the structures are constituted using finite element theoretical software, and dynamic characteristics are determined analytically. The experimental measurements are carried out by operational modal testing under environmental loads, which are wind and traffic loads, and the dynamic characteristics are identified experimentally. Vibration responses are collected from the dome’s outer surface for Hamza Pasa Mausoleum and the dome pulley’s inner surface for Kavak Meydan Fountain. Measurement time, frequency span, and effective mode number are determined by considering pretest measurement results. At the end of...
