Eiffel tower
-The Eiffel tower is a type of truss structure because it is used in the structure of buildings in order to make them more stable than structural components with 90 degree angles could. Story of the Eiffel tower: - Constructed from 1887–89 as the entrance to the 1889 World's Fair , it was initially criticized by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but it has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world. [3] The Eiffel Tower is the most-visited paid monument in the world; 6.91 million people ascended it in 2015. The tower is 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building, and the tallest structure in Paris . Its base is square, measuring 125 metres (410 ft) on each side. During its construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to become the tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years until the Chrysler Building
