The presentation focuses on the Eiffel Tower, detailing its construction between 1887 and 1889, which involved over 5,300 plans and 18,000 components assembled by numerous workers. It highlights the tower's dimensions, unique design features, and Gustave Eiffel's meticulous planning that contributed to its rapid completion and engineering precision. The Eiffel Tower stands as a historic architectural achievement and a symbol of France.
Eiffel tower
- 1. In the Name of kind Allah Today I have a presentation about one of the most famous tower in the world … Eiffel Tower Hope you never be tired!
- 2. Eiffel Tower France There were more than 5,300 plans and drawings for the tower The Tower was built in 2 years, 2 months and 5 days, from 1887 to 1889. It was an instant financial success. There were 18,000 components, made by 100 ironworkers off-site, then assembled by 130 workers on-site. It measures 410 feet (125 m) on each side and stands 1,024.5 feet (312.27 m), and weighs 9,500 tons The tower sways only 4.5 inches at the top. For many years, the Tower was the world’s tallest structure with a safety elevator designed by Otis Eiffel also designed the iron framework inside the Statue of Liberty.
- 3. HISTORY The plan for the tower was submitted to the design competition by the civil engineer Gustave Eiffel (1832-1923), already well known for such works as the arched Gallery of Machines for the Paris Exhibition of 1867, the dome for the Nice Observatory, a harbor in Chile, a 541-foot arched bridge in Garabit, France, a pre-constructed spanned bridge in China, and an iron bridge at Bordeaux (the construction of which involved the first use of compressed air to drive piles). It took years of work by more than fifty engineers and designers to prepare the approximately 5,300 plans and drawings for the tower.
- 4. PLANNING The Eiffel Tower was perhaps more carefully and meticulously Planned than any macro project in history and all the planning was done by Eiffel himself. In fact, planning may have taken longer than building. As a result of such fastidious preparation, the project was finished ahead of schedule. In just two years, two months, and five days, Eiffel and his team successfully accomplished this engineering feat with such perfection that the individual pieces were tooled to an accuracy of one-tenth of a millimeter.
- 5. BUILDING The tower was constructed of iron and held together by 2.5 million rivets, all resting on a masonry base. The foundation was made of caissons filled with concrete and sunk into the ground: these were 50 feet long, 22 feet wide, and 7 feet deep. The tower consisted of two platforms and a laboratory at 896 feet for Eiffel’s use. All sections of the tower were prefabricated: seven million holes were drilled off-site, and remarkably there were no significant difficulties with on-site assembly.
