Özet

In this study, the physical, chemical, mechanical and micro-structural properties of mortars in historic constructions built during Roman, Byzantine and Seljuk periods in Andriake Harbour, Antalya were investigated. Samples were generally taken from the regions to provide information about the different periods of the structure. Petrographic evaluation on the polished surfaces of the samples collected from the historic constructions was performed with stereo microscope in laboratory environment. XRD, SEM/EDX, TG/DTA, XRF, unit weight, water absorption by weight, water absorption by volume, specific mass, compactness, porosity, acid loss, sieve, salt, pH, protein, fat, pozzolanic activity-conductivity analyses together with point load tests were applied and the results were evaluated. Due to analysis results, a significant difference was not observed among the structures built in Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk periods in terms of physical, chemical and mechanical properties, although they were produced from the rocks with certain distributive properties.
