Protection of cultural heritage and carrying it to the future are at the top of the significant topics of research and implementation in engineering in the 21st century. There are several historical structures in the district of Ahlat located in the east of Turkey on the Lake Van Basin that has harbored many civilizations. Some of such works are the gravestones that are found in the Ahlat Seljuk Cemetery, which is the oldest and largest cemetery in the district. This study firstly provides information about the Ahlat Seljuk Cemetery and the gravestones found in it. Observation-based structural analyses were carried out on these gravestones that are found in this area that are known to have belonged to different civilizations based on their physical and constructional characteristics. These stones were built out of Ahlat stone as single pieces. Information is provided on the damages that have occurred on the gravestones in time and their causes. In general, losses of mass, abrasions, separations, collapses and calcifications due to natural conditions, as well as vegetative formations, were observed in the gravestones. To provide an example of other gravestones within the context of the study, the gravestone that is known to belong to the person named Nureddin Ebu Hasan was selected. As a result of the modeling that was carried out for this gravestone by using the finite elements method, modal analyses were carried out. With these analyses, for the gravestone, period, effective mass participation rates and stress values were calculated. The stress values that were obtained in this study were compared to the material safety stress values that were obtained in previous studies. Additionally, QR code application was created for the gravestone that was selected as an example in the study, and information on this gravestone was transferred to an electronic environment. The QR code application includes different language options, visuals of the gravestone and information on the gravestone. The QR application was also supported with a video of the cemetery where the gravestone is located. With this application, access to information about gravestones will be possible by using tablets and smartphones. With a QR code to be created for each gravestone, these gravestones will obtain identity cards.

2009년 5월에 경북 포항시 북구 흥해읍 중성리 도로개설 공사현장에서 발견된 중성리신라비는 부정형 암석의 한 면에 200여 개의 글자가 음각되어 있으며, 지금까지 알려진 신라시대 비석 중 가장 오래된 영일냉수리신라비보다 먼저 조성된 것으로 추정되고 있다. 중성리신라비의 구성암석은 흑운모가 다량 함유된 흑운모화강암이며 냉수리신라비는 장석과 각섬석이 반정을 가지고 있는 화강섬록반암으로 추정된다. 이 암석에서는 유색광물의 집합체인 포획암과 작고 불규칙한 공동이 관찰되며, 신광면 일대에 분포하는 흑운모화강암 및 기계면 일대에 분포하는 화강섬록반암과 유사한 암석으로 판단된다. 중성리신라비와 냉수리신라비에 나타나는 훼손현황은 변색에 의한 오염과 부분적으로 관찰되는 균열과 부재의 탈락이다. 이는 비의 안정성에는 특별한 영향은 없을 것으로 보이나 중성리신라비의 전면에 걸쳐 발생된 흑색 및 갈색 변색은 미관을 해치는 요인으로 작용하고 있다. 중성리신라비에서 관찰되는 흑색변색은 상대적으로 Mn과 Fe이 높은 농도를 보였으며, 갈색변색 부분은 Fe가 높게 측정되었다. 중성리신라비와 냉수리신라비의 초음파속도 분포 경향과 전체적인 풍화도를 비교 분석해보았을 때, 두 비 모두가 중간풍화단계(MW)에 해당되나 중성리신라비가 넓은 초음파 속도 분포를 보이며 평균적으로 다소 낮게 나타났다. 이는 최근 발견되기까지 아무런 보호시설 없이 매장 및 자연환경에 노출되어 있었기 때문으로 판단되며 향후 보존처리와 더불어 적절한 보존환경을 마련하는 등 관리가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
