in order to fix the lean, engineers placed lead into the gound, so therefore, the tower would not fall/tilt over completely.

Is the Leaning Tower of Pisa a shell structure?
correct me if wrong (i havent done alot of research yet) the leaning tower of pisa doesnt have an exact structure. it was built to be straight but proboably had some faults which caused it to start leaning. designers most of thought that the lean was going to be more popular and different than a normal building so they connected wires that held and still holds up the tower today.
What is the famous tower in Italy called?
A famous tower in Italy is the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It is located in the town of Pisa, and it is famous because of the way that it leans to one side. This was not done intentionally.
When was the Tower of Pisa fixed?
It hasn't been really "fixed". Several things have been done to try to correct the lean, but most of them haven't worked and the tower is under constant observation and work by the government to keep it from leaning further.
What time did cowboys eat dinner regularly?

Why did the leaning tower of pisa close to the public?
The lean had increased to where there was risk of the Tower collapsing. Then the Tower was closed while work was being done to steady and strengthen the Tower until it was safe to visit again.

The seven floors of the building were completed in 1319, while the bell chamber was added in 1372.it begun 1173 and ended 200 years laterI think it was completed in 1373 becaause we are doing this project of structures and i got the leaning tower of pisa. 1 question, what are other important dates of the leaning tower of pisa.

Is it correct to say leaning on the wall?
No.Or, from a different point of view, yes. The most excruciatingly correct may insist that leaning is properly done against a wall, not on it, but in everyday speech, leaning on the wall is what you'll hear from just about everyone.
Can you make the leaning tower of pisa stop leaning?
Depends on if you mean stop it from leaning more - that's already been done - or if you mean make it straight. We probably could, by now. But since it's the lean that's made it famous, I don't Think anyone would want to do that.
Is the Leaning Tower of Pisa straight now?
Yes, some attempts were made to correct the tower's lean. Benito Mussolini, Italy's prime minister from 1922-1943, ordered the Leaning Tower of Pisa to be returned to a vertical position, so concrete was poured into its foundation. The results were unexpected and sank the tower further into the soft soil. The tower was in serious danger of toppling completely by 1964, so the Italian government asked for aid and advice to preserve it. It took many decades of consultation and preparatory efforts, but finally the tower was closed to the public in January 1990 for a period of about 11 years while corrective reconstruction and stabilisation work was done. The lean of the tower, which had become excessive, was corrected by removing 38 cubic metres of soil from underneath the raised end. It is expected that the tower will remain stable for another 300 years. Much of the success of this enterprise can be attributed to British Professor John Burland, emeritus professor of soil engineering at Imperial College London. His analysis of the lean and how to fix it is detailed in the article at the related weblink below.
Did anyone try to fix the Leaning Tower of Pisa to make it stop leaning?
Yes, although it has not been 'straightened', although supports have been placed to help prevent it leaning further. Because the tower was in serious danger of toppling completely by 1964, the Italian government asked for aid and advice to preserve it. It took many decades of consultation and preparatory efforts, but finally the tower was closed to the public in January 1990 for a period of about 11 years while corrective reconstruction and stabilisation work was done.
