The Leaning Tower of Pisa is not just a historical icon, but also a unique laboratory for engineering and geotechnics. This book explores its nature as a "Slow Event"-an instability that evolves gradually through minute rotations, groundwater fluctuations, and subsurface transformations, all intensified by recent climate change.
By adopting the Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence, the author introduces the concept of plausible risk, analyzing future scenarios and evaluating the Tower's behavior over 100-300 year horizons. The text presents the probabilistic pendulum model and proposes an estimate for the Maximum Plausible Risk threshold, beyond which the historical 300-year stability guarantee could lapse.
Integrating history, consolidation interventions, geotechnical analysis, and climate data, this volume offers a rigorous, multidisciplinary perspective. It is an essential guide for engineers, geotechnicians, risk researchers, students, and science enthusiasts, showing how the Tower continues to defy both gravity and uncertainty.
