Abstract
The purpose of our study is to evaluate, monolithic houses that were popular thirty and forty years ago. The world as a whole understands the use of Monolithic Domes and EcoShells. According to a non-profit group Domes for the World Foundation whose mission is for helping people to help themselves by building safe Monolithic Dome or EcoShell structures. Dome structures are being built around the world in much needed areas. They save lives everywhere and can save human life in the United States. Every few months, news brings another tornado that destroyed property or took away human life. In 2012, a Christmas day tornado struck Mobile, Alabama. Tornados are not a seasonal event so buildings and structures for tomorrow need a prevention plan to save life and housing destruction. It is time to examine a monolithic dome structure which meets the prevention plan from storm and tornado destruction. Today, we know much more about tornados. Almost every large tornado near a city has a good chance of being filmed. Thirty and forty years ago, very little coverage was filmed until after the storm when everyone was picking up the pieces. Today, more people have dash cams and cell phones that can record video. The 21st century brought technology to almost everyone and it is possible to see filmed video of a tornado shortly after it strikes.
Highlights
A monolithic dome home can offer occupants increased protection from fire, high wind, tornado, and earthquake disasters
No other structure has been made to date that will provide for the protection needed for the EF5 tornado
The EF5 tornado is at the top of the Fujita Scale, according to data compiled by severe-weather-research meteorologist Jon Davies of Kansas City
Summary
A monolithic dome home can offer occupants increased protection from fire, high wind, tornado, and earthquake disasters. The best cost effective solution to providing the needs of safe environment from tornado and hurricane force winds is the use of concrete monolithic dome structure. No other structure has been made to date that will provide for the protection needed for the EF5 tornado. They are the rarest and most dangerous of tornadoes and research shows Kansas has more of them than any other state for a total 14. These homes are strong and sturdy with energy-efficient feature. Six-inch thick concrete walls that can withstand the high winds of a tornado with green features in the home showcases both established and cutting edge techniques for sustainable living
