Stabilising the leaning tower of Pisa
Abstract The 56-m high "leaning tower" of Pisa was constructed in three phases between 1173 and 1370 on the alluvial sediments of the River Arno, central west Italy. Although the tower deviated from the vertical at an early stage, the continuing tilt has led to concern about its safety. Having reviewed the construction of the tower and the underlying geology, the paper discusses the history of the tilting and describes the temporary remedial measures undertaken and permanent stabilization proposed.
