How do we explain the stability in the Leaning Tower of Pisa?

The tower is now stable due to recent work done. Case Study: The Leaning Tower of Pisa - Madrid Engineering Group Before the work was done to stabilize it, it was gradually leaning over and would eventually have fallen over. read more

The weight of the tower is estimated to be 16,000 tons. The tower currently leans at an angle of 3.97°, but leaned at an angle of 5.5° prior to the stabilization efforts in the late 20th to early 21st centuries. Fun Facts. Pisa got its name in 600 BC from a Greek word meaning “marshy land”. read more

Straightening up: Pisa's leaning tower before the stabilisation works in 1992 (L) and at the end of the works in 2010 (R). Since the works, the tower's tilt has decreased even more Previously the 56m bell tower’s tilt was increasing by more than a millimetre a year creating a danger that it could collapse altogether. read more
