    Why Does The Leaning Tower of Pisa Lean? Miert Ferde A Pisai Ferde Torony?

    The Leaning Tower of Pisa leans because it was built on unstable ground near a riverbed that caused the foundation to sink unevenly. As construction progressed, the tower began leaning more due to the added weight of taller upper stories on one side. Many attempts were made over the centuries to straighten the tower, including adding cement and removing soil from one side to allow it to settle evenly. Modern engineering analysis determined the tower was unsafe, leading to its closure for repairs. Soil removal under one side reduced the tilt by over 40 centimeters, reopening it to visitors while more work is planned.

    Why does the Leaning Tower of Pisa lean?

    Miert ferde a pisai ferde torony?


    The leaning tower of Pisa is a famous Italian landmark. It was built as part of a church
    just before the Renaissance, which was a period of great cultural growth. The tower is
    round and measures 56 metres high. The tower started leaning because it was built on
    ground near a riverbed that was not solid. Even as it was being built, it was starting to
    sink. The builder tried making the upper stories taller on one side, but the tower leaned
    even more because of the extra weight. Building stopped completely for a hundred
    years while everyone studied the problem. Finally, they tried adding two more stories
    out of line from the rest of the building, but the tower still leaned.
    A pisai ferde torony egy hires olasz feltuno tereptargy. Egy templom reszekent volt
    epitve eppen a reneszansz kor elott, amely a nagy kulturalis fejlodes idoszaka volt. A
    torony kerek es 56 meter magas. A torony azert kezdett el dolni mert egy folyomederbe
    volt epitve amely nen volt szilard. Eppen ahogy megepult, elkezdett sullyedni. Az
    epitesz megprobalt egyik felere meg ket felso szintet epiteni, de a torony elkezdett
    jobban eldolni az extra suly miatt.
    Many people tried to think of ways to straighten the tower. Among the letters sent to
    Pisa was one suggesting to tie balloons on top of the tower to lift it up. Once holes were
    dug underneath the lower side of the tower, and the holes were filled with nine hundred
    tons of cement. But the building just tilted more.
    Sok ember gondolkodott megoldasokon hogy kiegyenesitsek a tornyot. A levelek kozt amiket
    Pisaba kuldte volt egy ajanlat, hogy kossenek balonokat a torony tetejere hogy megemeljek.
    Egyszer lyukat astak a torony alacsonyabb resze ala es lyukat megtoltottek kilencszaz tonna
    cementtel. De az epitmeny jobban eldolt.
    In 1990 the Italian government appointed a special committee to look into the problem.
    These people determined that the tower was unsafe for tourists, so it was closed to the
    public. After many years, John Burland, a professor of soil mechanics, came up with a
    way to remove soil from under one side of the building so it would settle back into the
    ground, reducing its tilt. After spending thirty million dollars, the tilt is now forty
    centimetres less than it was, with a total of eleven feet, eight inches. In 2001 the tower
    was again opened to the public. For now it is safe but more major repairs may be done
    in the future.
    1900ben az olasz kormany kinevezett egy specialis bizottsagot hogy belenezzenek
    a problemaba. Ezek az emberek lehataroztak, hogy a torony nem volt biztonsagos
    a turistak szamara, tehat, be lett zarva a kozonsegnek. Sok evvel ezutan, John
    Burland, foldtechnikus professzor jott egy modszerrel, hogy eltavolitsak a foldet az
    epulet egyik fele alol, tehat vissza lett teve a foldre, csokkentve a dolest. Miutan
    elkoltottek 30 millio dollart, a doles most 40 cm el kevesebb lett mint volt, az osszes
    11 lab es 8 inchbol. 2001ben ujbol megnyitottak a kozonsegnek a tornyot. Mostanig
    biztonsagos, de meg nagyobb javitasokat fognak vegezni a jovoben.
