The Bunker - Like a Structure for Storing the Life of the Civilian Population in Conditions of Danger

Abstract:

The work presents an analysis of the requirements for the creation of a bunker and the development of a schematic layout of civilian bomb shelters from an urban point of view in order to create the most comfortable and long-term stay in safe zones during dangers. The historical development of bunkers, the basic principles of their design, placement and construction are considered. The analysis carried out showed the high popularity of bunkers in the modern world and the steadily increasing requirements for design solutions, structural strength and comfort. The modern architecture of bunkers is also developing in an urban direction, tending to create real underground cities.
