Book excerpt: The manual discusses radiation shielding as it applies to the preliminary designing of protection against fallout gamma radiation in new construction. The architectural principles of shielding are discussed at length and designing examples are given. Planning charts are presented whereby material weights can be selected on a preliminary basis to provide shielding which will satisfy the Office of Civil Defense requirements for Community Shelters. Environmental control, shelter supply, and management factors are not discussed as they are auxiliary to the problem of the provision of radiation protection. It is anticipated that the preliminary architectural schemes developed through the use of this manual will be verified by skilled analysts before final designs are completed. (Author).

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 Shelter Plans Anthology 1 written by Guy Montag and published by Loose Cannon. This book was released on with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A curated collection of the best shelter designs Since the dawn of the Cold War in the 1950's people have sought ways to protect themselves from the specter of global thermonuclear war. Both the private sector and the U.S. government responded with plans for home bomb/fallout shelters. We have reviewed them all and selected the best of the best that still meet the needs of citizens in the 21st Century. With war in Europe again a 'new reality', the need for shelters is not such an old-fashioned idea anymore. Volume One focuses on shielding principles and the classic FEMA shelters, first envisioned in the 1960's, shown here in the updated 1980s-era versions. These nine different designs encompass three basic types; basement retrofit, above-ground, and stand-alone underground. Each design includes plan drawings, material lists (with 2022 costs in USD), and basic construction details. FEMA Shelter designs in this volume include: — Modified Ceiling Shelter, Basement "A" — — Modified Ceiling Shelter, Basement "B" — Concrete Block Shelter, Basement "C" — Snack Bar Shelter, Basement "D" — Tilt up Storage Unit, Basement "E" — Lean-To Shelter, Basement "F" — Outside Concrete Shelter — Aboveground Home Shelter — Home Shelter Masonry Block Future volumes will present more shelter types, including Canadian civil defense designs, and farm-specific ones that even include livestock protection shelters.
