dc.description.abstractThis paper investigates the modal behaviour of minarets by conducting parametric modal analyses with a comprehensive set of geometric and material properties and critically proposes effective expressions to estimate the first and third natural periods of minarets. To make this unprecedented attempt, firstly, previously studied 52 minarets were examined to systematically select the geometric and material properties of 189 representative minarets. Subsequently, numerical models of these 189 minarets were created and assigned with the selected values for height, cross-sectional area, moment of inertia, modulus of elasticity, and mass density. Then, modal analysis was applied to each representative minaret to obtain modal characteristics to see the effect of each variable. Next, an iterative optimization algorithm was used to establish four effective expressions for the first and third natural periods, considering the effect of five and three variables. Finally, the performance of the proposed expressions was checked with 35 of the previously studied minarets whose dynamic characteristics are available. The results demonstrated a satisfactory level of accuracy. For example, the expression for the fundamental period with 5 variables presented discrepancies mostly far less than 19 % for 28 minarets of a total of 35 minarets. © 2025 Institution of Structural Engineersen_US
