Download or read book SHELTER DESIGN AND ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 FALLOUT PROTECTION written by and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook combines in one volume, for the first time, most of the material covered in the Fallout Shelter Analysis courses for architects and engineers sponsored by the Office of Civil Defense. It is intended for use by practicing professionals enrolled as students in formal graduate level university courses under the direction of professors well versed in the methods and techniques of shelter design and properties and effects of fallout gamma radiation. This volume confines itself to design and analysis of structures for protection against radioactive fallout, which presents the most widespread threat to our population in the event of a thermonuclear attack. The feasibility of incorporating inherent fallout protection into the design of many buildings and structures at little cost will be apparent when the designer becomes aware of the problem and familiar with the principles of fallout shelter design and analysis. The text is not intended to be used as the source of detailed background information on nuclear physics or weapons effects.

Download or read book Fallout Shelter written by David Monteyne and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2013-11-30 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1961, reacting to U.S. government plans to survey, design, and build fallout shelters, the president of the American Institute of Architects, Philip Will, told the organization’s members that “all practicing architects should prepare themselves to render this vital service to the nation and to their clients.” In an era of nuclear weapons, he argued, architectural expertise could “preserve us from decimation.” In Fallout Shelter, David Monteyne traces the partnership that developed between architects and civil defense authorities during the 1950s and 1960s. Officials in the federal government tasked with protecting American citizens and communities in the event of a nuclear attack relied on architects and urban planners to demonstrate the importance and efficacy of both purpose-built and ad hoc fallout shelters. For architects who participated in this federal effort, their involvement in the national security apparatus granted them expert status in the Cold War. Neither the civil defense bureaucracy nor the architectural profession was monolithic, however, and Monteyne shows that architecture for civil defense was a contested and often inconsistent project, reflecting specific assumptions about race, gender, class, and power. Despite official rhetoric, civil defense planning in the United States was, ultimately, a failure due to a lack of federal funding, contradictions and ambiguities in fallout shelter design, and growing resistance to its political and cultural implications. Yet the partnership between architecture and civil defense, Monteyne argues, helped guide professional design practice and influenced the perception and use of urban and suburban spaces. One result was a much-maligned bunker architecture, which was not so much a particular style as a philosophy of building and urbanism that shifted focus from nuclear annihilation to urban unrest.

Download or read book The Design and Performance of a Fallout tested Manned Shelter Station and Its Suitability as a Single family Shelter written by J. D. Sartor and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design details, cost analysis and performance characteristics are presented for small, partially-underground fallout shelters utilized as manned stations during a nuclear weapon effects test. Four men occupied each shelter and operated radiation measurements and fallout collection instruments. Two types of shelters were designed to withstand predicted over-pressures: type I, 1-psi overpressure and type II, 5-psi overpressure. The basic structure consisted of an 8-ft diameter, 10-ft long, 12-gage corrugated steel, multi-plate pipe. A steel entranceway with two right-angle turns provided access to the basic structure. Depending on the amount of soil backfill, fallout gamma radiation protection factors up to 470,000 were obtained. The overall performance of the shelters under the conditions experienced was excellent. Shelters of this type have application not only for use as manned stations in nuclear weapon testing and can be adapted for use in residential areas as single-family fallout shelters.

This book was released on 1967 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award winning designs for dual-use fallout shelters are presented, representing contributions by the design professions toward development of the national defense resource. The focus and concept of the competition is described as the basis for judging. The nature of dual-use shelter is discussed, which contributes to understanding of the techniques for controlling exposure to gamma radiation from fallout. Graphic illustrations are given of award winning dual-use shelter space in community structures appropriate to residential areas.
