Is that something that we've actually done at any kind of scale?
- samstave 5y agoOn a global scale, probably, yes... but I'm either 1 or 0 correct.
- wongarsu 5y agoMany cold war bunkers are kind of like this, but using rock that's already in-situ: start with solid rock (either in a mountain or in bedrock), remove some of it, in the cavity add linings of concrete, copper and steel to enhance properties as desired (copper for better EM shielding).
- Anon1096 5y agoNot the same, but the Pyramids of Giza are essentially huge rock houses. I don't think they provide very modern amenities though :)
- gridspy 5y agoWell, we've done it with concrete tents [1]. It seems plausable you could begin with that kind of shelter and use that as a basis for further reinforcement. [1] https://www.concretecanvas.com/cc-shelters/ https://www.concretecanvas.com/cc-shelters/
