Investigation of structural problems on the ground and walls of Diyarbakir Historical Behram Pasha Mosque by the georadar (GPR) method

Behram Pasha Mosque is one of the historical mosques, which work Mimar Sinan [1], located in southwest Diyarbakır’s Suriçi Region. Georadar (GPR) method geophysical applications possible gaps, fractures, collapses, etc. damages are determined non-destructively on walls and floors buildings. Therefore, historic mosques Diyarbakir Mosque, expert engineers carried out GPR scanning grounds without damaging mosque’s physical structure. In surveys, depth investigation (penetration) was chosen as 20 m ground 4 wall. It aimed to show anomaly structures study area its immediate surroundings due determination underground void continuity surface fractures at research depth. studies, it has been that there cracks mosque, smallest 12 cm largest 40 cm, water leakage ground, deterioration corrosion, partial collapses. The regions with detected deformations marked radar sections. completed thought structural problems will contribute restoration strengthening works be done future mosque an up-to-date guide.
