The Gateway Arch is known as the "Gateway to the West". It is the tallest habitable structure in St. Louis as well as the world's tallest monument. Construction began February 12, 1963 and the last section of the Arch was completed on October 28, 1965. The Arch is a structure known as a catenary curve, the shape a free-hanging chain takes when held at both ends, and considered the most structurally-sound arch shape. Nine hundred tons of stainless steel was used to build the Arch, more than any other project in history. In order to ensure that the constructed legs would meet, the margin of error for failure was 1/64th of an inch. All survey work was done at night to eliminate distortion caused by the sun's rays. Since the Arch was constructed before the advent of computer technology, relatively crude instruments were used for these measurements. |
