SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

Subject and Purpose

1.1 The purpose of this task was to develop, test and evaluat.a prototype design for an aboveground, outside type concrete masonryfamily fallout shelter. The shelter was constructed to obtain de-tailed cost data, observe construction rechniques and provide a teststructure for observation, evaluation and for other developmentalprograms at the Center. This report concerns the design, constructionand evaluation of such a prototype shelter, having a capacity of 6persons, at the Protective Structure5 Development Center (PSDC), FortBel roir, Virginia.

Background

1.2 The shelter which is the subject of this report was designedby the PSDC, adapted from an original concept by the Office of CivilDefense. The contract (No. DA-49-129-EM-538) for the construction ofthe shelter and preparation of construction cost data vas awarded on27 September 1964. The structure was completed in December 1964.

SECTION 2: DESIGN

General

2.1 An above,-ound, outside type concrete masonry family falloutshelter was designea to accommodate 6 people. The shelter is 14'-8"long and 11'-4" wide outide with a usable shelter space 8'-0" 1 71-8"inside. Additional space is provided in tUie entrancevay which can beutilized for storage of supplies -.J "non-shelter" uses. Exteriorwalls are concrete nasonry 1'-8" thick comqosed of inner and outervythes of 8" concrete blocks having voias filled with grout. Conretewas placed 1: the wall cavity. The floor is a concrete slab on grade.Overhead shielding is provided by 17 to 20 inch grava! fill sandwichedbetween two concrete slabs. The lower (i.e. ceiling) slab is 4" thickreinforced concrete designed to 3upport the weight of the 17 to 20 inchthick gravel layer and the 21 inch cover slab above plus noinal rooflive load.

SECTION 4: EVALUATION

General

4.1 This shelter design is suitable for locations vhere below-ground structures are not feasible or an aboveground building isdesired for non-shelter uses. Coat of the prototype structure was$700 per shelter space; howver, a long building life at very lowmaintenance cost can be expected. Considerable savings could berealized if the shelter was 'built by a h~reov-n h:,ving tha naceszaryskills. Constrction of the roof system requiie siLed workmenand/or qualified supervision. Some savings can be expected by usingall 8" high blocks in a raunning bond in lieu of the coursed ashlarouter wythe.

Alternate Design

4.2 AA alternate design incorporating a solid concrete roofslab in lieu of the system having gravel fill was evaluated. Basedupon experience obtained from construction of the shelter it is esti- Imated that a shelter having the solid concrete roof can be built at

a lower cost. The estimated net saving of $80 is due primarily to Ithe following:

a. Labor costs are reduced since the amount of concretefinishing required for the roof is reduced by nearly one-half andall concrete for the roof can be placed in one day. The existingroof system requires that the 4" ceiling slab be placed and allowedto attain sufficient strength before placement of the gravel fill.

b. Cost of the crane rental is reduced by ope-half byplacing all roof material in one day.

c. The height of the exterior CMU wall is reduced by 4"since a 20" solid concrete roof has approximately the same mass thick-hess as the existing roof.

d. Weep holes are not required for tho alternate design.The alternate design, in addition to being lower in cost, has greaterstrength, a~Wll be more attractive because of the lower silhouetteand elimination of weep holes.
