Özet

  Throughout the centuries, historical masonry structures, which constitute a significant part of our historical and cultural heritage, have suffered significant losses due to reasons such as earthquakes, fires, wars, and neglect caused by adverse environmental conditions. We have only been partially successful in truly preserving and safeguarding this heritage. Historical buildings have been partially protected, but the preservation approach followed has left some of these structures to their fate, lacking an effective and sustainable conservation practice. One of the main reasons for this deficiency is that structural assessment and preservation practices present a complex issue with many challenges and uncertainties, requiring a multidisciplinary approach.

  Security, reliability, risk, and sustainability are the most crucial concepts in the preservation of cultural heritage. Especially in cities like Istanbul, where the risk of earthquakes is high, it is essential to address each historical masonry structure individually.

  The primary objective in the preservation of historical artifacts should be to ensure their safe transfer to the future while maintaining their structural integrity. During restoration works, it is essential to work without compromising the original qualities of the structure. Unfortunately, the subject of how repair works should be carried out, striking a delicate balance between the preservation and intervention of historical masonry structures, is not adequately discussed in our country. In this study, the structural deterioration and detection methods in Köprülü Mehmet Pasha tomb, located in the historical peninsula of Istanbul, have been examined, and recommendations have been provided for its restoration and structural repair.
