The use of TS498 and TS-EN-1991-1-4 in the Wind Load Calculation of Reinforced Concrete Minarets Considering Soil-Structure Interaction
Abstract
The minarets
are among the most beautiful, meaningful and delicate works of Islamic
architecture. At early times, although these slender structures were built
short and with masonry stone, as time progressed, the construction of minarets
with reinforced concrete and that are thin-walled and long were preferred. This
has caused many reinforced concrete minarets to be damaged or destroyed under
wind and earthquake forces. With regard to this issue, because of the severe
winds, many minaret collapse incident took place in Turkey. Due to this reason,
in this study, the wind loads acting on a selected reinforced concrete minaret
have been calculated in details according to TS498 and TS-EN-1991-1-4
standards. In the calculations made, the effects of soil structure interaction
on the calculated wind loads were also examined. At the end of the study, the
wind loads obtained in the calculations were compared. The obtained results
show that soil structure interaction is a negative effect on wind loads, this
interaction increases them and that the soil structure interaction should be
included in wind load calculations.
