We incorporated storm shelter rooms in every building ee designed and built at NSU-BA in Broken Arrow, OK. You're basically right. Cost hardly noticeable. But in a small school with maybe 8 classrooms it might be a higher percent. I guess ques tion is what are taxpayers willing to pay... ($2.00 each?) To save children's lives.
I live in OK and we have lots of foundations and basements. I have 12 yrs in constr, 12 yrs working for large commercial contractor, and 14 working for an architect. Storm shelters have a lot to do with the weight of the thing as a whole so 200 mph winds or 150 mph... won't lift them. Above grade or below grade. (Ground). Anyway, soils engineers advise on how to build on the specific soil tupes of a particular building site.
You kinda remind me of the pe rdon yestrrday who said "domes" would withstand these winds. It's just not dimple. BUT THANKS FOR THINKING ABOUT IT. KEEP BRAINSTORMING! !!!
You're right. I live in OK because my kids are here. I'm a populist... what's best for the ordinary people is more important than what's best fof the rich and powerful. I'm registered independent but a bible believing christian an liberal. These R politicians are neither Christian nor patriotic. The bow to the rich, despise the poor and middle class and hate liberty and justice for all. They are exsmples of everything OPPOSITE to biblical Galations 5:22-23... peace, love, kindness, generosity, goodness etc., etc.
