Abstract
In this study, the results of vibration analyses applied to an icon timber building, Turşucuzade Pavilion, is presented. The structure is still under construction to recreate its original form. For this reason, as the first step of an ongoing project, the dynamic properties of the structure are investigated when the timber frames are completed. Operational modal analysis is pursued to extract its dynamic properties such as mode shapes and dominant frequencies of the incomplete building. Three Kinemetrics accelerometers are used with two sets of measurement. They have been located on the centroid of first floor, second floor and roof level of the building at the first set for mode shapes and dominant frequencies. Then records were gathered from three corners of second floor to obtain the torsion mode. Thereby dynamic characteristics of the incomplete timber building were extracted and evaluated.
