La statua più alta del mondo è stretta: come resta in piedi
La Statue of Unity è la statua più alta del mondo: 182 m con gambe strette, due nuclei in calcestruzzo, due damper e confronti con Cristo Redentore e Libertà.
Due nuclei in calcestruzzo salgono dai piedi alle spalle, e su ciascuno è montato un tuned mass damper contro vento e sisma.
