Based on prior literature, in the first half of the 19th century at least a few of the arches of the aqueduct were standing. Later in the first half of the 20th century, only two were standing. Today, only a single arch remains, and it is in a damaged condition. In this paper, the stability of the last remaining arch is investigated under two scenarios: the idealized (undeteriorated) arch, and arch in its current state of geometrical imperfection (deteriorated). This is important as the geometrical impurity is expected to have a major effect on the stability of this arch that has lost the support of a series of arches. Discrete element modeling is used to assess the stability and seismic resistance of the arch structure in both conditions. Loss of capacity, due to loss of material and a poor intervention on the key stone from 1980s, is discussed. The level and type of seismic excitation that would cause the collapse of the deteriorated lone arch is studied. The paper concludes with preliminary design recommendations for the conservation of this historic arch.
Evaluations resulted in locating 8 differents anomolous area name of which are the entrance, the hall, western corner of the temple, the graves, eastern part of the adobe wall, western part of Atıntepe road, tent area and apadana area. Findings are all follows; a chanell like features delienated crossing both the entrance and the hall area, a chanell in western corner of the temple, the ramparts in eastern part of the adobe wall, a new grave at the E-NE part of the graves area, wall remains at western part of the Altıntepe road and in tent area. But, possible fault planes were observed on the apadana area. This traces of active faults indicates that archeological area may be faced with young tectonic movements. Since dating the damage caused by this movement is important in the view point of archeological survey paleomagnetic, paleoseismologic and seismotectonic studies must be employed.
