Tahribatsız yöntemlerle tarihsel yapılarda ayrışmanın belirlenmesi: Türkmenistan'ın Merv şehrine ait uygulama

Non-destructive testing of historical structures at Merv, Turkmenistan, reveals significant structural weaknesses and deterioration. Using ultrasonic velocity measurements and crack depth analysis, researchers classified two towers as 'weak' and two mausoleums as 'poor' according to international standards. Compressive strength varied between 2-8 MPa in towers and 20 MPa in mausoleums, indicating differential degradation likely caused by northwest winds and historical restoration practices. These findings highlight the potential for targeted preservation strategies that could reduce structural reinforcement costs while safeguarding Merv's architectural heritage.
