Despite the obvious fact that both the Millennium Tower and the Leaning Tower of Pisa are both tilting, there are many other common aspects that these structures share even having been completed 650 years apart. I delve into the geotechnical aspects of the foundation soils that have led to the performance issues of these structures and also cover what efforts have been done in each case to try to correct such structure tilt.
