Longxi Tower is the first time shift of pagoda relics in China. All the following factors increase the difficulty of the shift: long years’ construction, serious aging of its structure, poor integrity, small base area and great height. In the process, we used steel initiative urging support system and reinforced concrete protective tube for Longxi Tower’s reinforcement protection, so as to form a stable entirety. Compared to no protection measures, overturn-preventing calculations and further reinforce protection measures improved the safety factor 6.0 times, thus greatly improving the overturn-preventing ability of Longxi Tower.
