The Eiffel Tower in the summer to 14 cm higher than in winter Bashny.Net

High-rise construction did not behave as usual doma

Tower can change its size depending on the temperature. This is largely due to the fact that steel is compressed when it is cold, and expands when it is hot. Due to the fact that the Eiffel Tower is built mainly of steel, the engineers had to take into account this temperature shift, because of which the tower is resized. While this is no big change in height, and it will only be noticeable to someone who is willing to spend time on the accurate measurement. It also means that climb the tower on foot in the summer will be a little more complicated than in the winter.
