3. Historical background.
In 1889, the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, Paris celebrated with a major international exposition. The most striking exhibit at the fair is the Eiffel Tower. It became a symbol of the Industrial Revolution that swept the world at that time.
The Eiffel Tower was designed by the French architect Gustave Eiffel. On January 28, 1887, the construction of the Eiffel Tower began. 250 workers worked eight hours a day in the winter and 13 hours a day in the summer, and on March 31, 1889, the steel tower was completed.
The Eiffel Tower is made up of a lot of scattered steel components – what looks like a bunch of mock-up components. There are 18,038 steel components, weighing 10,000 tons, and a total of 7 million holes were drilled and 2.5 million rivets were used during construction. Since each component on the tower is strictly numbered in advance, there is no mistake in assembly.
The construction was carried out in full accordance with the design, and no changes were made in the middle, which shows the rationality of the design and the accuracy of the calculation. According to statistics, there are more than 5,300 design sketches of the tower alone, including 1,700 full drawings. The Eiffel Tower was 300 meters high and was the tallest building in the world until 1930.
Today, radio and television antennas have been added to the tower, and its total height has reached 320 meters. Standing on the tower, the whole of Paris is at your feet. Tourists from all over the world come to visit every day.
By 1988, the Iron Lady had welcomed hundreds of millions of visitors from five continents.

Historical Background: In 1880, France had just emerged from the humiliation of the Franco-Prussian War, in order to show its national strength. In 1884, the French parliament decided:
From May 5 to November 6, 1889, Paris, France, will once again host the World's Fair, with the theme of celebrating the 100th anniversary of the victory of the French Revolution. In May 1886, France ** launched a bidding for the construction of the World Expo to design a tall tower in the Champ de Mars in Paris, on the condition that the tower could attract visitors to buy tickets to visit, and it could be easily demolished after the World Expo. In November 1886, the French Minister approved the final plan for the construction of the tower by the Eiffel team.
On March 31, 1889, the construction of the main building of the Eiffel Tower was completed. The Eiffel Tower became the most iconic building of the World's Fair.

Ground was broken on the Eiffel Tower in January 1887. Eiffel, who designed the tower, was a former chemical engineer, and as a young man he took several entrance exams to a prestigious engineering school in Paris and was admitted because of his poor grades. But he continued to educate himself and eventually became a "universal engineer" in railway bridges.
The Eiffel Tower has adopted a number of enhanced seismic measures, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects. First, a large amount of cement is used on the foundation of the tower to make it more solid; Second, the seismic resistance is improved through earthquake-proof facilities, including special large anchors anchored in the foundation, elastic anti-seismic devices that support the dome at high altitude, and steel beams that pass through the floor from the top of the tower. The third is to strengthen the connection between structural components, and further improve the stability and seismic resistance of the whole structure through the reinforcement of the underlying copper plate and the strengthening of the guardrail. Through these measures, the Eiffel Tower has succeeded in enhancing its seismic resistance, making it one of the most earthquake-resistant buildings in the world.
