Assessment of architectural heritage characteristics and seismic behavior of Ziyaeddin Han Tomb

Historical structures built by different civilizations that have survived to the present day an important place within scope of protection cultural heritage. Bitlis province, where many lived and located in a strategic position on Silk Road, contains types historical structures. Within this study, Ziyaeddin Han Tomb, which was masonry during ?erefhans under rule Ottoman period, has been taken into account. Besides, architectural features tomb, detailed information are given about current structural situation. As consequence on-site measurements, numerical model tomb formed using finite element method (FEM) analyzes were enforced. Structural performed for macro modeling technique applied, considering four earthquake ground motion levels, 2%, 10%, 50%, 68%, with probability exceedance 50 years. time history analysis applied take advantage acceleration record occurred near region recent city center Bitlis. The performance tried be determined displacement drift ratio obtained.
