Hagia Sophia & Earthquakes – Structural Resilience
Understand how piers, buttresses, and repairs distribute loads and mitigate quake impacts.

Lateral loads meet mass and geometry — Hagia Sophia’s resilience is a mix of design and iterative repair.
Components
- Piers: primary vertical mass
- Buttresses: lateral thrust handlers
- Dome geometry: adjusted post‑quakes
| Element | Role | Quake Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Piers | Carry vertical loads | Damp sway through mass |
| Buttresses | Resist outward thrust | Limit deformation |
| Dome | Redistributes loads | Rebuilds refined curvature |
Reading It On‑Site
- Trace arches to buttresses visually
- Notice repaired joints and stabilized zones
