OpenAlex İngilizce

The durability of natural stone in traditional buildings is important for the structures to survive today. External environmental factors have negative effects on natural stone materials. When the material is exposed to negative factors, deterioration occurs in the stone. It is important to determine this deterioration and its causes correctly and to offer solutions for the transfer of buildings to future generations. Failure to identify the factors that cause deterioration leads to the growth of damages and the formation of new damages. Determining the deterioration on the surfaces of Hatuniye Madrasah and its causes will be useful in terms of preventing problems and making the right interventions. As a result of the analyses, the types of deterioration that occurred on the facades of the building and the changes in the chemical properties of the stone according to the results of the XRF chemical analysis were determined.
