Traditional Turkish House has become an icon with its masonry walls that surrounds the ground
floor, projections and tiled roof In addition to timber framed buildings, strengthening the structural
system of masonry buildings by using timber elements is very common in Traditional Turkish Houses,
since the earthquake is one of the most important design criteria. The use of the horizontal timber
joists (beams) which are embedded within the masonry load bearing walls give the building the ability
of resist the horizontal forces that occur during the earthquakes. This beams called as “hatil” in
traditional houses. With this idea, in addition to timber floor and roof constructions, it is aimed to look
at the conservation issues of timber supporting elements in masonry structures, by examining some
examples from Western Anatolia, and to emphasize the importance of them to make the building
standing still. The study is produced from the field researches that have been carried out for the
research project, which is titled as “Conservation Methods of Wooden Architectural Elements of the
Traditional Turkish Houses” and supported by TUBİTAK.
