It began leaning shortly after construction began in Builders had only reached the third of the tower’s planned eight stories when its foundation began to settle unsteadily unevenly on soft soil composed of mud, sand and clay. As a result, the structure leaned slightly to the north. Laborers tried to compensate by making the columns and arches(拱顶) of the third story on the sinking northern side slightly taller. They then proceeded to the fourth storey, only to find themselves out of work when political unrest stopped construction.
The tower sat unfinished for nearly 100 years, but it wasn’t done moving. By the time work restarted in 1272, the tower tilted to the south--the direction it still leans today. Engineers tried to make another adjustment, this time in the fifth story, only to have their work interrupted once again in 1278 with just seven stories completed. Unfortunately, the building continued to settle, sometimes at an alarming rate. Finally, between 1360 and 1370, workers finished the project, once again trying to correct the lean by angling the eighth story, with its bell room, northward.
In 1989, a similarly constructed bell tower in Pavia, northern Italy, collapsed suddenly. Officials became so worried the tower of Pisa would suffer a fate similar to the collapsed tower in Pavia that they closed the monument to the public. A year later, they brought together an international team to see if the tower could be brought back from the brink.
By 2001, the team had decreased the tower’s lean by 44 centimeters(17 inches), enough to make officials confident that they could reopen the monument to the public. The actions taken by Burland and his team could, theoretically(在理论上), stabilize the structure forever. The real threat now comes from the masonry(石造建筑) itself, especially the material in the lower stories, where most of the forces caused by the centuries-long leaning have been directed. If any of this masonry crushed, the tower could collapse. And even a minor earthquake in the region could have devastating consequences.
In spite of these potential problems, engineers expect the famous structure will remain stable for at least another 200 years. By then, another intervention may be required, but the technology available to make improvements could be far more advanced and preserve the tower for another 800 years.
