Fallout Shelters
Abstract
The purpose of this section of Sweets Catalog is to provide technical information and references for the convenience of design professionals. This information is supplemented by publications and by the architectural and engineering services described below. The architectural and engineering support for the National Fallout Shelter Program comes from the continued cooperation of the officers, members and staff of such dedicated groups as the American Institute of Architects, the American Institute of Planners, the Consulting Engineers Council, the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Associated General Contractors of America, Inc., the Engineers Joint Council, the National Society for Professional Engineers, and the Nation's outstanding colleges and graduate schools of architecture and engineering. These organizationsare a constant source of advice to us on improved shielding technology. This support by the professional societies plus the individual contributions of many talented architects and engineers is responsible for a growing competence in fallout shelter design and the incorporation of dual-use shelter in many new construction projects at little or no additional cost to building owners.
