ABSTRACT Aleppo, the biggest city of Syria, whose historical center is a world heritage site, has been suffering a savage war caused a huge destruction of its monuments for eight years. Many monuments, forming the urban structure of the old city, were destroyed either directly by actions of war or indirectly by the effects of ground shaking induced by explosions. In 2011, a documentation campaign was implemented by the students of Architecture Faculty, Aleppo University, and the caravansaries of the old city were documented. A strong explosion on March 4th, 2015 in the old city triggered many accelerometers in the region and felt as an earthquake. Recently, with the beginning of the restoration works, an evaluation is necessary for better understanding of the causes of damage, and best intervention approaches in these monuments. In the study, two historical caravansaries were presented and interrelated with the corresponding ground motion. Then, the seismicity of Aleppo is discussed; equivalent explosion-induced seismic effects were estimated and compared with the earthquakes. It is aimed to examine the possibility of applying the analogy with seismic forces on historic buildings to understand the damage caused by war explosions, on the purpose of future intervention for safeguarding the monuments.

对阿勒颇历史建筑的战争造成的破坏的记录和评估

摘要阿勒颇是叙利亚最大的城市，其历史中心是世界遗产，八年来一直饱受野蛮战争造成的巨大破坏。许多构成旧城城市结构的纪念碑被战争行动直接摧毁，或被爆炸引起的地面震动影响间接摧毁。2011 年，阿勒颇大学建筑学院的学生开展了一项记录活动，记录了旧城的大篷车。2015 年 3 月 4 日在老城区发生的强烈爆炸引发了该地区的许多加速度计，感觉就像地震一样。最近，随着修复工作的开始，需要进行评估以更好地了解损坏的原因以及对这些古迹的最佳干预方法。在研究中，展示了两个历史大篷车，并与相应的地面运动相互关联。然后，讨论了阿勒颇的地震活动；估计了等效的爆炸诱发地震效应，并与地震进行了比较。旨在研究将地震力类比于历史建筑以了解战争爆炸造成的破坏的可能性，以便未来干预保护古迹。
