Abstract

The secular equilibrium at ground interaction is the absolute fact that holds the urban cultural heritage to next generations. "Water" is an indispensable requirement and also a great threat for the shelters of humanity. Destructive effects are inevitable for porous materials while in contact with groundwater. Common design strategy both used in Byzantine and Ottoman Era Architecture oriented on balancing of ground water with caisson wells. Even so, in the Post-Industrial Revolution Period, new water supply technologies developed and ancient infrastructures disabled cause of redundant perception. As a result of the system's inactivity, the variable amount of water content effects the soil strength in two ways: loss of shear resistance and increase of pore water pressure. That conditions lead to deformations in proportion with material tolerances and structural strength limits. In this context, relative model that makes the problematic visible strategically is an important need for documentation of ancient construction technique and protection of the system.
