Until January 16th, 24, in order to bid for the 212 Summer Olympic Games, the municipal government of Paris, France specially introduced its preparations for the Olympic bid on the Eiffel Tower, and the Eiffel Tower became a "natural advertisement" for the country's Olympic bid.

This metal building, which was built for the World Expo, once remained the tallest building in the world for 45 years until the Empire State Building in New York appeared. It is fixed by 2.5 million rivets. < P > It is said that its pressure on the ground is only as great as that of a normal adult sitting in a chair. On the four sides of the tower, the names of 72 scientists are engraved, all of whom are engaged in research to protect the tower from being destroyed.

Historical background

The Eiffel Tower is one of the symbols of Paris and is loved by the French as the "Iron Lady". It is known as the three famous buildings in the world together with the Empire State Building in new york and the TV Tower in Tokyo.

In 1889, the centenary of the French Revolution, a large-scale international exposition was held in Paris to celebrate. The most striking exhibit at the Expo is the Eiffel Tower. It became a symbol of the industrial revolution that swept the world at that time.

The designer of the Eiffel Tower is Gustav Eiffel, a French architect. In his early years, he was famous as an expert on dry bridges. His masterpieces are numerous in his life and spread all over the world, but it is this tower named after him that makes him famous all over the world. In his own words, the Eiffel Tower "drowned me, as if I had just built her all my life". At the beginning, although the French government decided to build the world's tallest tower in Paris, the funds provided were only 1/5 of the required cost. In order to realize his design, Eiffel once mortgaged his construction engineering company and all his property to the bank as an engineering investment.

on January 28th, 1887, the Eiffel Tower was officially started. 25 workers work 8 hours a day in winter and 13 hours a day in summer. Finally, on March 31, 1889, this steel tower was completed (1 pieces). The Eiffel Tower is made up of many scattered pieces-it looks like a pile of model components. However, these fragments are not plastic, but metal, and there are 18,38 pieces, weighing 1, tons. During the construction, 7 million holes were drilled and 2.5 million rivets were used. Because every part of the tower is strictly numbered in advance, there is no mistake in assembly. The construction was carried out completely according to the design, and no changes were made in the middle, which shows that the design is reasonable and the calculation is accurate. According to statistics, there are more than 5,3 design sketches of the iron tower alone, including 1,7 full drawings.

The completed Eiffel Tower is 3 meters high, and it remained the tallest building in the world until 193. Today, radio and television antennas are added to the tower, and its total height has reached 32 meters. Standing on the tower, the whole of Paris is at your feet. Every day, tourists from all over the world come to visit. By 1988, the Iron Lady had welcomed 123 million tourists from five continents.

On March 31st, 1989, the Eiffel Tower was 1 years old. For this reason, the Paris Tower Management Company specially hosted a grand commemorative event, recreating the historical scene that Eiffel led the crowd to the top a hundred years ago: "Eiffel" dressed in a black dress, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and holding the national flag, and 3 "celebrities" and "construction workers" climbed the stairs with the grand drum music. When he put the tricolor flag on the top of the tower, 21 salutes rang, pigeons flew around the tower and colorful balloons floated into the blue sky. On the fence of the platform on the second floor of the tower, there are colorful banners written in words from all over the world to celebrate the 1th anniversary of the tower. Numerous tourists eagerly witnessed this spectacular scene.

The Eiffel Tower has experienced a hundred years of wind and rain. After the overhaul in the early 198s, it still stands tall on the banks of the Seine. It is the pride of all French people.

The Eiffel Tower covers an area of one hectare, and stands in the Ares Square on the Seine River in downtown Paris. Except the four legs are made of reinforced concrete, the whole body is made of steel, and the total weight of the tower is 7 tons. The tower is divided into three floors, the first floor is 57 meters high, the second floor is 115 meters, and the third floor is 274 meters. Except that there is no gap in the third platform, all the other parts are empty. There are 1711 steps from the tower base to the top of the tower. Now the elevator has been installed, so it is very convenient. There are bars and restaurants on each floor for tourists to take a rest and enjoy the unique panoramic view of Paris: whenever Wan Li is clear, you can see the scenery as far as 7 kilometers. Mr. Eiffel, the designer of the tower, once said when he delivered the drawings: "Only proper paint can guarantee the life of this metal building." This sentence is very suitable for the maintenance of the Iron Lady. Is it also more suitable for the maintenance of people's emotions today: meticulous care, good beginning and good end, which is the beauty of the world.

The symbol of Paris

The Eiffel Tower (also translated as "Eiffel Tower") is a famous tower in Paris, France. It is located at the northern end of

Eiffel

in Mars Square on the south bank of the Seine. Construction started on January 26, 1887 and opened on May 15, 1889, with a history of more than 1 years. Like Notre Dame de Paris, Louvre, Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysé es, the Paris Tower is a landmark building in Paris.

If Notre Dame de Paris is the symbol of ancient Paris, then the Eiffel Tower

is the symbol of modern Paris. In 1889, it coincided with the centenary of the French Revolution. The French government decided to hold an unprecedented world exposition in Paris to show the achievements in industrial technology and culture, and to build a monument symbolizing the French Revolution and Paris. The Preparatory Committee originally hoped to build a classical memorial group with statues, monuments, gardens and temples, but in more than 7 applications, the design of bridge engineer Gustave Eiffel was selected: a giant tower symbolizing machine civilization that can be seen in any corner of Paris.

The romantic Parisians gave the tower a beautiful name-"Maid in the Cloud". Named after the designer, the famous French architectural engineer Eiffel, a bust bronze statue was made for Eiffel under the tower.

The miracle of the Eiffel Tower

Generally speaking, buildings are upgraded on the basis of studying the previous works. For example, if you want to build a 1-story tall building, you'd better study the 8 th and 9 th floors first. For Eiffel, it is not so lucky. No building can reach the height of the tower before.

In order to complete the construction of the tower, Eiffel designed many creative technologies:

●

Unlike other large-scale construction projects at that time, Eiffel manufactured all the components in its own workshop in advance. In other words, when these components are sent to the construction site, they can be installed quickly.

●

rivet holes are made in advance with a tolerance of one tenth of a millimeter, so that 2 riveting teams can assemble 165 rivets every day.

●

Every part of the tower is not more than 3 tons, which makes small cranes widely used.

three watchtowers

The French say that the Eiffel Tower is the "watchtower of the capital", which is indeed the case. It has three watchtowers: upper, middle and lower, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time. The three watchtowers have different horizons and bring different interests. For a century, about 3 million people have climbed to the top of the tower every year, overlooking the city of Paris.

The top _ observation deck is 274 meters above the ground. If you go up the 1652 steps, it will take almost an hour. Of course, you can also take the elevator to climb. This is the best place to look from afar. It will make people feel that the noisy Paris suddenly quieted down and turned into a huge map, with countless lines with different widths drawn from all the streets. The whole of Paris is at your feet, and when you have a clear vision during the day, you can expect to be 6 kilometers away.

the middle layer _ observation platform is 115m above the ground. Some people say that you can see the best view from this floor. Indeed, the pale yellow Arc de Triomphe Tower, the Louvre in the shade and the white Sacred Heart Church in Montmartre are all clearly visible and colorful. When you climb the tower in the evening, you will see that the night is picturesque, the lights are like brocade, and the trees are green. Those street lights that are intertwined like nets are really like beads after the rain, and the grains are crystal clear. There is also a well-decorated panoramic restaurant on this floor, which is full of customers all year round. Seats must be reserved in advance.

The observation deck on the lowest floor is the largest and quite spacious, with various service facilities such as conference hall, movie hall, restaurant, shop and post office. In the shuttle crowd, it seems to be in a downtown area, forgetting that it is 57 meters high after all. It is ideal to watch the close-up view from here. The Charlotte Palace in the north and its splashing fountain, the Seine River flowing quietly at the foot of the tower, the lawn of the Ares tinker in the south and the ancient buildings of the French military academy constitute an unforgettable landscape.

amazing move

1.1891, a baker in Paris walked 636 steps on stilts and climbed to the first floor of the tower.

2. In 1911, a French tailor named Monsier Rayfield flew down from the parapet at the top of the tower, wearing his own cloak in the shape of a bat wing with springs. Unfortunately, his homemade "Cape Expedition" lost control during the flight, and he flew to the hell of death in front of a large audience. He hit the ground with great force and opened a big hole 3 cm deep. Afterwards, the doctor examined his body. The doctor said that Rayfield might have died of a heart attack before hitting the ground.

3. In June 1923, a French writer named Pierre Labric rode his bike back to the ground along the iron tower from the top of the second floor.

4. In November 1926, in order to impress his brother who lived nearby, a Frenchman named Leon Kolo tried to fly across the gap between two towers. He almost succeeded, but at the last moment, he was blinded by the sun. Therefore, he had to turn left and then hit a radio antenna. The plane caught fire immediately and Leon was killed.

5. In World War II, just before the Allies were about to recapture Paris from the Germans, an American pilot made the same flying feat as Leon, and this time he succeeded.

6. As part of the celebration of the tower's 75th birthday, a mountaineering team climbed the tower-they didn't use any ladders!

in 1968, a cow was hoisted to the top of the tower to encourage people to buy more dairy products such as milk, butter and cheese.

8. Every year, the iron tower will complete its own feat-automatically rising. Because in hot summer, the tower will automatically rise by about 17 cm due to thermal expansion-but when the weather gets cold, the tower will automatically shrink to the normal level.
