     • Eiffel, experienced in designing open lattice structures, allowed for a large safety margin by designing the Tower to withstand wind pressures of 4 kN/m 2. The fastest winds recorded at the Tower reached a speed of 214 km/h in 1999 and would have produced pressures of just 2.28 kN/m 2.

   Which wind load conditions were considered for the Eiffel Tower?

   • The wind load conditions considered for the Eiffel Tower are discussed below: The effect of wind load on the tower was considered in two configurations by Eiffel. First, a uniform load of 3 KN/m2 on the entire height. Second, a linearly varying load of 2 to 4 KN/m2 on the entire height.

   How long will the Eiffel Tower last?

   • The CETIM’s model suggests that the Eiffel Tower will last for at least two or three hundred more years. Simulated precipitation, temperature, and extreme wind conditions are projected to have little effect, and even doubling the weight of the tower, though causing it to “move,” will still leave it safely standing.

   Did Eiffel Tower withstand the wind?

   • Even though Eiffel was already a renowned engineer, celebrated for his work on structures such as the Garabit Viaduct, the dome of the Nice Observatory, and the Statue of Liberty, some claimed that it was an impossible feat to build a tower that could withstand the wind at such high altitudes.

   How strong is the Eiffel Tower?

   • He also used previously collected information about the effects of wind together with his own experience in building large railroad bridges and other structures, including the interior of the Statue of Liberty. According to a study recently commissioned by the company that now operates the Eiffel Tower, the building is indeed sturdy.

   How fast did the Eiffel Tower move?

   • Some of the objects Eiffel studied moved as fast as 144 kilometers (89 miles) per hour. That was speedier than early aircraft. Scientific American reported on one of these early experiments in its March 19, 1904, issue. A heavy cylinder, capped by a cone, sped down the cable in just 5 seconds.
