Abstract | Tornado-resistant construction can be achieved economically, by applying known and accepted sound engineering practices. Completely resistant structures would be too expensive since "the probability that any given area of one square mile will be struck by a tornado in any given year is slight even in states where these storms are frequent. It should never be overlooked, however, that there is no assurance that any particular spot will not be struck without warning in any year, or even more than once in the same year". |
