ACKNOWLEDGEMENTIn the name of Allah the beneficent the most merciful. All praise is to Ailah(SWT) who inhis ultimate and bountiful mercy gave me the opportunity to study up to this level. Maypeace be upon our holy prophet Muhammad(SAW), his companions, households and thegenerality of the Muslim Ummah.First and foremost, I would like express special thanks to my supervisor, Asst. Prof Dr.Rifat Resatoglu, for his guidance and support during my studies here at Cyprus. He wasalways there when I needed help and ready to share his professional expertise, which makesme feel better when I am nervous.Working with such respected and inspirational personhas been a privilege and has confirmed my interest in advanced Structural Engineering.My sincere appreciation goes to Prof. Dr. Ata Atun who taught me the basic knowledge ofdepartment, Near East University for their valuable and commendablehelping hand to me.Deep appreciation is extended to Mr. Bora and staffs of Vakiflar Idaresi for their help andproviding me with helpful information during my study.I wish to express my respect and appreciationHauwa'u Muhammadto my parent Abdullahi Muhammadand entire family, a word cannot express your contribution,andmayAllah (SWT) reward you in abundanceI would like to express my profound gratitude to my colleagues and friends for their help inmany ways.Finally, I wish to present my special thanks to Kano state governor Engr. Dr. Rabiu MusaKwankwaso for awarding me a full Msc. scholarship at Near East University Cyprus. MayAllah reward him in abundance.ii

ABSTRACTDuring severe wind storms or strong ground motions, so many constructed reinforcedconcrete (RC) minarets are severely damaged or collapsed causing the loss of lives andproperties. Collapses or damages of RC minarets after these miserable acts of nature andabsence of structural code that talk specifically on how to design minaret in TurkishRepublic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) compel us to revise our knowledge about thestructural analyses of these structures. The main objective of this study is to make structuralwind analysis of representative RC minaret in accordance with ACI 307 -98 and TS498, tocompare and discuss the results of the analyses in order to clarify the weaknesses of theconstant wind velocity value used for the calculation of wind load based on TS498regulation for height range between 21m to 100m. The reinforced concrete minarets ofheight 26m, 33.2m, and 45.8m have been modeled by using SAP2000 V.15 packageprogram. It was found that shell elements around the transition segment bears the maximumstress tend to make this region to be more vulnerable to wind effect, and in both the threemodels ACI 307 -98 causes much displacement than TS 498 with percenta

The concept of using fibers is to enhance the tensile behaviour of the concrete by bridging the cracks and improving the load carrying capacity of the structural members.

reinforced concrete for pavement applications. However, Merta et al., (2011) studied wheat straw reinforced concrete for building material applications. They concluded that there is an increase (i.e. 2%) in fracture energy of wheat straw reinforced concrete. Thus, wheat straw reinforced concrete needs to be investigated for rigid pavements.
Structural Behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Haunched Beam Anu Jolly, VidyaVijayan Abstract—Beams are the major structural element that is capable of carrying and transferring load which is designed primarily for bending and shear. A careful approach in its design will lead to efficient use of concrete and steel reinforcement.

1) Reinforced concrete has a high compressive strength compared to other building materials. 2) Due to the provided reinforcement, reinforced concrete can also withstand a good amount tensile stress. 3) Fire and weather resistance of reinforced concrete is fair. 4) The reinforced concrete building system is more durable than any other building .
