Cyclone Resistant Building Construction

 Introduction
• It is the construction of a residential building whether it is a building made from
concrete, wood or other materials which is protected by a strong cyclone resistant
coating.
• This type of building protection is required by local and federal government and it
is mandated by most local and state codes.
• The reason for the requirement is the fear of damaging or destroying homes,
businesses and other property and the concern for our environment.
• Cyclone Resistant Building Construction take a long time to build.
• Cyclone resistant construction generally aren’t as inexpensive as standard
construction.
• The challenges that a construction team has to overcome in this type of
construction may make this cost somewhat higher.

 Abstract
• The aim of this study is to investigate the present housing condition to develop and
establish a comprehensive, safe and economical design concept, so that people under
poverty can build structurally robust house to resist high speed wind within their
affordable limit.
• As you can see cyclone resistance can be incorporated into concrete building structures
or into the more traditional wood framing design.
• In the case of concrete construction, this can be incorporated during the pour of the
slab.
• If the concrete is poured before the ground settles, it becomes very impervious to
tremors.
• This means that after the concrete is poured and allowed to dry completely it becomes
impervious to all soil pressures.
