Structures



Today we studied the city's structures and did a practical exercise to analyze the bell tower in Saint Marc's square. The objective was to approximate the stresses in a singular pile beneath the bell towers foundation. After completing this we went to the top of the tower, what a view! We could see the Adriatic as well as the Alps. The best view of the city by far.
