1- Introduction:

Reasons for the inclination of the Tower of Pisa The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Italy, and the reason for its fame is its deviation from the normal level due to the depth of its foundations in the ground, which led to its inclination of 5.5 degrees. , which is one of the most important  reasons for the inclination of the Tower of Pisa in Italy,   after which many foundation corrections were made to reduce the inclination by degrees, and it eventually reached less than four degrees. Reasons for the inclination of the Tower of Pisa  The Tower of Pisa was built in the Middle Ages to be the third building of the city's cathedral, with a height of 56 meters. The building was built over a century, which stabilized its foundations and prevented its collapse.

2- The stages of building the Tower of Pisa, the reasons for the inclination of the Tower of Pisa in Italy .   

The main reason for building the Italian leaning Tower of Pisa is to attract tourists to the cathedral in the city of Pisa, and it was designed as a bell tower, with three-meter-thick foundations planted in unstable soil, which is one of the reasons for the leaning of the Tower of Pisa in  Italy . But the continuous outbreak of wars led to stopping construction for several years, which contributed to the continued subsidence of the soil, after which the tower was tilted to the opposite direction through the extra weight resulting from the increase in the height of the upper floors on one side of the tower.

SMD Decoration mentions   the construction details of  the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy

construction stages 

The construction stages that the tower went through and the reasons for the inclination of the Tower of Pisa in Italy  can be summarized

Building the foundations and first floors, and the height of the tower during that phase reached 29 meters.

 1- He halted construction operations for a period of 94 years.

2- Completing the construction of the following four floors, and the height of the tower during that phase reached 51 meters.

3- He halted construction operations for a period of 82 years.

4 - Completion of the construction of the tower with the bell room, and the height of the tower during that phase reached 58 meters

5- Building a corridor around the tower building and placing a layer of conglomerate rock (80 cm thick).

6- Making the floor of the corridor and the foundations of the tower building impermeable to water. 

7- Constructing a prestressed concrete ring with weight around the base of the tower. 

8- A 600-ton weight was placed on the northern side of the concrete base to balance the tower's inclination, which reached 5.5 degrees. The process took place in four stages.

9- The last ballast of the weights of the first stage of balancing the inclination of the tower was placed, and it was composed of a lead alloy. Freeze the ground, and put the stakes. 

10- Starting digging and extracting soil from the northern part under the tower building. 

11- Starting the final excavation and soil extraction. 

12- Building a water drainage system on the north side of the tower

installation process 

Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy There have been many proposals to address  the causes of the inclination of the Tower of Pisa in Italy and change the inclination of the tower, including the complete dismantling of the tower and its erection in a different place, but international treaties to preserve valuable monuments emphasize the need to preserve the original structure, history and beauty of the monument. , thus there should be no way to interfere with   

. To work on the tower and restore it only without affecting its design and construction, the Leaning Tower of Pisa was closed to the public and two methods were used to reduce the tower's inclination to the south by 10%, the first was building the bottom of the foundations, and the second was using the drainage system to control the water level under the northern part of the tower, Where pressure measurements under the northern part showed that the water table was stable, which allowed it to reopen










3- The architecture of the Tower of Pisa and the reasons for the inclination of the Tower of Pisa in Italy      

What is the reason for the inclination of the Leaning Tower of Pisa ? The Leaning Tower of Pisa is characterized by its hollow cylindrical shape surrounded by rows of columns that contain a spiral staircase  . worried. made of

Mortar and stones fill large cavities, and it is mentioned that the soil below the tower has three layers and is the reason for the leaning of the Tower of Pisa

Layer (A): It consists of soft alluvial deposits deposited in shallow waters, and its thickness is Layer (B): It consists of very fine marine mud, as the many excavations that were conducted around the soil showed that this layer has become in the shape of a plate; Because of the heavy weight of the tower above it, it extends to a depth of 40 meters. 

Layer C: It consists of thick sand that extends to a very great depth. Where the depth of the foundation is three meters; Because of the compaction of the soil that led officials to create it at this depth

Inside the tower its tilt is noticed as soon as you enter it, as is the great difference in lighting between the inside and the outside. Because the only source of light inside is the upper aperture of the tower, and the emptiness of the building inside is also unusual. It is simply a hollow cylinder

It contains a narrow staircase leading to the top of the tower, which provides a picturesque contrast between the emptiness within the tower and the apparent complexity provided by the details of the exterior. 

 The company SMD Decoration shows the reasons for the inclination of the Tower of Pisa in Italy that the main reason is the geographical location of the city of Pisa between the Arno and Sercio rivers, and the type of alluvial soil consisting of mud, shells, and sand on which this city is located. The reasons behind the inclination of the tower; Where this soft soil, by its nature, cannot bear a large weight, which led to the inclination of the building, and its appearance in the form it is now and the reason for the inclination of the Italian Tower of Pisa.
