#architectural stabilization
- Counter-tilting support — A structural element, counterforce, or architectural consolidation technique used to counteract the tilt, uneven settling, or deviation from the vertical axis of a structure or tower; a technical method applied to create a back-pressure to that exerted by the asymmetrical weight of the building. In a historical and restorative sense, the term describes engineering solutions aimed at stabilizing monuments affected by soil instability, providing a support point opposite to the direction of collapse.
