This shelter may be used for personnel protection in emergency situations likeaccidental blast, terrorist attack, etc. Various criteria have been used for designing and analysingthe shelter. The shelter has been analysed using a software package called ANSYS for findingout the stresses, deflections, buckling load factors, and buckled mode shapes. The shelter wasburied under earthcover (1.5 m) and tested for the required loading. ER -
