Earthquake-Resistant Strategies in Traditional Architecture of Tabriz
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 9, Issue 9
Abstract
Tabriz, as a city located within a strategic location, northwest of Iran, has confronted many earthquakes throughout its long history. The influences of earthquakes on the old city of Tabriz are distinguished from other cities by two factors; First, it is located in a specific natural container surrounded by mountains and also on the intersection point of the two historical world trade routes; That is, the West to East and the North to South routes. The second factor is the buried wealth existing under the old Bazzar and the active merchandise in the city. These two factors prevented the city from moving to and being reshaped in another place and made people reconstruct the new city over the old one a number of times. The restrictions in the geographical context and the strategic commercial location, have led Tabriz’s traditional architects to develop a number of strategies to confront earthquakes. The in-the-field study of the remaining traditional structures together with the historic printed material on the subject reveal some of these strategies that can be categorized into five main methods. This paper will show in detail how these five methods have been applied to the structures.
