Several methods have been proposed to stiffen these towers, such as adding four shafts to the towers as was done to the Rio Antirrio Bridge crossing of the Gulf of Corinth, Greece (Figure 3.19). A second method would be to use cables arranged in various ways to stiffen the towers externally but this is beyond the scope of this chapter.

This fruit is not a currant, but is actually a raisin it is made from black Corinth grapes that are only about one-quarter of the size of an ordinary raisin and look like a dried black-currant. The name Zante was given to the raisin because it was first produced on a large scale on the island of Zante in the southeastern part of Greece. Now, they are also produced in Australia.
