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.\u003cbr\u003eBy 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.\u003cbr\u003eIntegrating 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47569517805719,"sku":"9798248584024","price":2067.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798248584024.webp?v=1774877844","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/plausible-risk-of-the-leaning-tower-of-pisa-an-evidence-theory-based-approach-to-uncertainty-9798248584024","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
