what is the angle of the tower of pisa
about 3.99 degrees 3.99 degrees at about 3.99 degrees
title: Leaning Tower of Pisa text: The same soft soil that caused the leaning, and brought the Tower to the verge of collapse helped it survive. Two German churches have challenged the tower's status as the world's most lop-sided building: the 15th-century square Leaning Tower of Suurhusen and the 14th-century bell tower in the town of Bad Frankenhausen. "Guinness World Records" measured the Pisa and Suurhusen towers, finding the former's tilt to be 3.97 degrees. In June 2010, "Guinness World Records" certified the Capital Gate building in Abu Dhabi, UAE as the "World's Furthest Leaning Man-made Tower"; it has an 18-degree slope, almost five times more title: Leaning Tower of Pisa text: tilt increased in the decades before the structure was completed in the 14th century. It gradually increased until the structure was stabilized (and the tilt partially corrected) by efforts in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The height of the tower is from the ground on the low side and on the high side. The width of the walls at the base is . Its weight is estimated at . The tower has 296 or 294 steps; the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase. In 1990 the tower leaned at an angle of 5.5 degrees, title: Leaning Tower of Pisa text: Leaning Tower of Pisa The Leaning Tower of Pisa () or simply the Tower of Pisa ("Torre di Pisa" ) is the "campanile", or freestanding bell tower, of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa, known worldwide for its unintended tilt. The tower is situated behind the Pisa Cathedral and is the third oldest structure in the city's Cathedral Square ("Piazza del Duomo"), after the cathedral and the Pisa Baptistry. The tower's tilt began during construction in the 12th century, caused by an inadequate foundation on ground too soft on one side to properly support the structure's weight. The title: Huzhu Pagoda text: Huzhu Pagoda Huzhu Pagoda () is a Chinese Pagoda located on Tianmashan Hill in the Songjiang District of Shanghai. It is known for its leaning angle, surpassing that of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The tower was built in 1079 during the Northern Song Dynasty. Originally part of a building complex that was used to store Buddhist relics, a series of damaging fires left only the tower standing. It was named a cultural relic by the Shanghai government in 1983. The pagoda is an octahedral tower with seven levels and a height of around 20 meters. The tower leaned to title: Leaning Tower of Pisa text: the tower were vacated for safety. The solution chosen to prevent the collapse of the tower was to slightly straighten it to a safer angle by removing of soil from underneath the raised end. The tower was straightened by , returning to its 1838 position. After a decade of corrective reconstruction and stabilization efforts, the tower was reopened to the public on December 15, 2001 and was declared stable for at least another 300 years. In total, of earth were removed. In May 2008, engineers announced that the tower had been stabilized such that it had stopped moving for the
