MATHEMATICS IN EIFFEL TOWER

                                                                                                            


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 800 square inches.


These four elements are assumed to rise along the curve of the actual columns of the Tower and meet near the top.
