Historical structures, built through centuries, designated mainly for religious and recreational purposes have had a significant role in the socio-cultural heritage of Kosovo. Many of these buildings such as mosques, hammams, houses, etc. still present nowadays, were built during Ottoman era (1445–1912) using stone masonry. During their lifespan, these structures have been subjected to several seismic activities, deterioration of construction materials, weather conditions and lack of maintenance.
In this paper, it is presented an approach on structural assessment of Mehmed Pasha Hammam, a heritage structure built during 16th century in Prizren, Kosovo. The methodology is based on visual inspection of the structural condition, identification and documentation of the visible defects, as well as finite element modelling, using SAP2000, to study structural behavior under earthquake loadings.
As a result, structural and non-structural damages were identified, critical areas were highlighted and the global behavior of the structure under seismic loading conditions was simulated. Understanding the structural response of this structure would make it easier to suggest retrofitting solutions, extend the service life and preserve this structure for future generations.
