To complete the analysis both the safety and the efficiency of the design are evaluated. Eiffel designed the Tower to be meters high, which is feet approximately 90 stories ; it is feet wide at its base. This dimension quickly tapers as illustrated by the following diagram and chart. There are four observation decks located as shown in the diagram. For analysis, the Tower will be divided into three parts as indicated on the same diagram. The basic structure of the Tower is lattice-work columns at each of the four corners of the Tower, in which diagonals connect four elements, thus making stiff, but lightweight columns.
Typical sections illustrating these columns can be seen next to their positions along the Tower in the large diagram above. Such composite structural elements require detailed calculations in analysis, so the composite columns are idealized by single solid cross section columns, each with an area of square inches.
These four elements are assumed to rise along the curve of the actual columns of the Tower and meet near the top. This idealization, however, is still three-dimensional and must be further simplified to two dimensions for this simple analysis. This is accomplished by essentially combining the two front and the two back columns into two of double thickness. This results in an area of square inches for each of the simplified supports. One should realize that in this simplification the curve of the columns is altered.
In the three-dimensional structure the curve is toward the center of the square base, but in the two-dimensional simplification the curve is in the plane of the model, and therefore, decreased somewhat. Weidman and a colleague analyzed the shape of the Tower. The researchers described their conclusions in the July issue of the French journal Comtes Rendus Mecanique.
For 41 years after it opened in , the Eiffel Tower remained the tallest building in the world. It was assembled from 18, parts, held together by 2.
To keep it from rusting, the Tower is repainted with 60 metric tons of paint every 7 years. It takes about 18 months for 25 painters using 1, brushes to repaint the entire Tower.
