| Abstract: | The safety of the Leaning Tower of Pisa requires preventive structural measures and their assessment on adequate models of the structure. Several models of analysis are compared and the inadequacy of the most simplified methods is proved, particularly in the interpretation of the role of the colonnade. The temporary prestressing at the first loggia is described and justified. |
