Where is the tilted tower

Now a famous local tourist attraction, this slanted brick and wood tower is 84 feet The weight of the water and the soft ground beneath the tank have caused it to lean to the southwest. There's this clause in most contracts about unforeseen ground conditions, which is designed to protect contractors. But if it's unforeseen then the ground investigation, or its interpretation, has not been adequate.

The fantastical Nationale-Nederlanden building in Prague -- or "Fred and Ginger" as it's colloquially known -- was designed by American architect Frank Gehry to have an intentional lean. CNN: How do you stabilize or center a leaning tower?

Burland: "In principle, it's simple -- and that's the essence of genius isn't it, simplicity -- but actually it requires a lot of expertise. You've got to find out why it's leaning, so you've got to spend a lot of money investigating the ground around the tower and what's happening over time. The classic solutions involve what's called compensation grouting or injecting grouting into the ground to try and lift one side of the building compared to the other.

It has to be carefully controlled, and it uses very specialized equipment. Also know as the "Gate of Europe," these twin office towers designed by American architects Philip Johnson and John Burgee rise feet meters into the sky at an angle of 15 degrees. Or you can cut the building at its foundation level to insert jacks and jack the building straight, that has been done many times. At Pisa, because the ground was so incredibly soft, we did the opposite and took some ground out.

But it's not something you rush into Leaning 9. Although designed to be straight, it is thought that the lead weights used to cover the spire caused its green timber frame to warp and lean. Burland: "Pisa is rather special and it becomes highly technical but the best way is to give an analogy.
