DUAL PURPOSE COMMUNITY FALLOUT SHELTERS, 200 AND 1000 PERSONS
Abstract
The report covers the design, construction, cost analysis, preliminary testing and evaluation of the prototype dual purpose 200 and 1000- person community fallout shelters. The building design provides for an excellent dual-purpose shelter. However certain modifications may be made to the design for further improvements in similar structures. No unusual construction problems were encountered. The cost per person sheltered in the 1000-person shelter was approximately $152 compared to $300 in the 200-person shelter. During normal operation and acceptance tests, the heating and ventilating systems of the shelters maintained design conditions. Most electrical features proved to be satisfactory during normal use. Additional investigation of the acoustics of the shelters and methods of reducing noise from mechanical equipment is desirable.
