We can pouring sheet pile wall around building distance between sheet pile walls and the edge of building around6 meter after that we can inject the soil under building to stop the differential settlement between soil to make building in save condition as it is now.
We have to inject the soil under the weak side of the tower with high bearing capacity material after making piles around the highest side (the other side) of the tower then we have to connect the piles with anchors in between tower's foundations
its simple just shore it, manage the foundation on the opposite side and stabilize it...
Improving foundation condition and checking the structural model of pizza tower if we want to kept in its shape .
Firstly we need to do a detailed investigation about the problem. Why is it leaning? Since when did it start to lean? The variations (seasonal/temperature), if any, and so on. According to the prior investigations and computer analysis that have been conducted, the best option was to remove a specific volume of soil from the high side to enhance settlement which will slowly bring back the tower to its normal position.
On February,, the Italian government asked for assistance to prevent the tower from falling was the ultimate solution to correct the tendency was removing cubic meters of soil from under the high end of the base of the tower
The failure of the Leaning Tower of Pisa is due primarily to the location of the tower and the instability of the ground underneath the foundation. During its year construction the tower had begun to show signs of instability but the builders persisted and as time lapsed the tower leaned more and more resulting in a fifteen foot vertical discrepancy at the peak. The weight of the tower compressed the ground beneath beginning with a seven meter layer of silt and thirty meters of clay under the foundation. An area of clay under the south side of the structure is softer than its counterparts causing the infamous lean towards the south. Further depression of the clay below the foundation is a result of consolidation.The foundation is not the sole factor of instability in the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Full of debris and mortar and peppered with cavities, the circular walls of the tower are weak and a contributor to its precariousness. Some of these vacancies in the walls are the result of scaffolding put in place either during construction or during the attempts to right the tower. The stones consisting primarily of limestone are of low resistance and the marble facing of only centimeters creates an unstable framework for the tower. Although the walls have a thickness of nine feet in most places, they taper to just over a yard in some places to accommodate the spiral staircase that winds up the tower.Various strategies were put into place to save the tower from collapse but many of them worsened its condition. Since the tower had begun to lean before construction was complete, the bell tower was added at an opposing angle in an attempt to decrease the rate of compression on the south side. Unfortunately the added weight caused the tower to lean even more, and without addition of the bell tower it would have remained at an angle of1.5 degrees. Because it began to lean during construction, the builders were prompted to use larger stones on the southern side. This, coupled with the addition of the bell tower at an angle, is what gives the tower its banana shape. Many attempts to save the tower from collapse have been unsuccessful and at times detrimental to the overall structure—at best they have been temporary fixes.
Determine the Center of Gravity and Stabilized the weakening foundation by providing a wedge on top of any solid structure to slowly counter react the gravitational force that will cause the structure to lean more angles and may result the structure to collapse.
In Construction all Things are possible to retard the inclination of Pisa Tower
At first i need the soil report Then we can manage and stop Inclination of leaning of Pisa Tower by many solutions
