Why doesn’t the Leaning Tower of Pisa fall over? - Alex Gendler
Рет қаралды 5,148,110
4 жыл бұрынDig into the 800 year history and architecture of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and find out what gives the tower its infamous tilt.
--
In 1990, the Italian government enlisted top engineers to stabilize Pisa’s famous Leaning Tower. There’d been many attempts during its 800 year history, but computer models revealed the urgency of their situation. The tower would topple if it reached an angle of 5.44 degrees- and it was currently leaning at 5.5. What gives the tower its infamous tilt? Alex Gendler explores the monument's history.

The argument of the grandmother is out of this context because in that case from infant she would have back problems, and all the solutions from the doctors worsen her condition. The same with the tower. All these years they made the problem worse and worse and the tower didn't fall. At the 90's where they actually fixed it, they gave it only 300 years. How does that even sound logical to you? It's like the tower hasn't stood up by itself for over 600 years. And the only good fix gives only 300? That's my whole point.

As an engineer, in constructions that people's lives will be in danger when something goes wrong, we always calculate the "limits" until the accident occurs with a safety factor. Meaning that when the calculations say it is 5.44, they include the safety factor. The real number for the accident to occur may be 6 but we will never go that far since we always calculate with this.
@nanochic 2 жыл бұрын
Unless they were asked specifically to determine when the tower will actually fall. In my PhD dynamics course, we add a factor of safety when designing something commercially, but we don't have any factor of safety if we're trying to see the actual limits of something. Sometimes knowing the breaking or fracturing point, rather than just the commercial limit, is important.
@nanochic 2 жыл бұрын
I also work with superconductors and when we talk about the temperature the material will fail at, we normally talk about the maximum temperature, and other factors can make it fail before the temperature we measure. So no, engineers don't always add a factor of safety. It depends on what you're trying to answer.
@DCN_Central 2 жыл бұрын
@@nanochic As I explained, “In constructions that people’s lives will be in danger”. That’s when the safety factor is lower than the actual breaking point. If a material will break at 6 per say, we will calculate the construction with a much lower number for safety purposes.

The lean was use as, essentially, a deliberate touristic attraction, almost since it's construction.

Fascinating. Never even occurred to me why it was leaning or why it wasn't falling. Makes you wonder how many buildings suffer from a similar affliction... I understand the height of London's skyline is affected because much of the city is built on clay like Pisa.

Many towers and bell towers in Italy are affected by the same problem. Two famous examples are the Two Towers in Bologna, both leaning quite dramatically in different directions, just a few meters apart from each other. Tho in their case they are built on a strata of very fragile rock similar to chalk, if I remember correctly. I guess that in a country where there's a church every few steps the probabilities of building a bell tower on unstable soil are very high. The fact that in the Middle Ages many noble families displayed their wealth by building the tallest fortified towers in their cities didn't help either...

I love how this bell tower was important enough to them that a century hiatus didn't stop them from finishing it. Is there anything like that these days?

So no one is going to talk how it did not fall for nearly 6 centuries with poor fixes while they give it 300 more years with proper fixes???
