TESTED ABOVE GROUND SHELTERS
National Wind Institute
Texas Tech University
The National Wind Institute (NWI) at Texas Tech University performs debris impact tests on storm shelters,
shelter components, and building materials to evaluate their ability to resist various types of projectiles
propelled at different speeds in accordance to accepted and proposed test protocols as follows:
Protocols for Debris Impact Testing2
Protocol 1 Hurricane envelope impact by a 9 lb. wood 2”x4” propelled at 34 mph. In accordance to the Florida Building Code, the
International Code Council, and the Texas Dept. of Insurance Windstorm Resistant Construction.
Protocol 2 Hurricane Shelter Speed impact by a 9 lb. wood 2”x4” propelled at 0.40 x the design wind speed (mph) for
horizontal impacts and 0.10 x the design wind speed (mph) for vertical impacts, in accordance to the proposed ICC 5001
– ICC/NSSA Standard for the Design and Construction of Storm Shelters.
Protocol 3 Hurricane Shelter Speed impact by a 9 lb. wood 2”x4” propelled at 0.50 x the design wind speed (mph) for
horizontal impacts and 0.33 x design wind speed (mph) for vertical impacts, in accordance with FEMA 320, “Taking
Shelter from the Storm,” 2008 edition and FEMA 361 “Design and Construction Guidance for Community
Saferooms,” 2008 edition.
Protocol 4 Tornado shelter speed impact by a 15 lb. wood 2”x4” propelled at 100 mph for horizontal impacts and 67 mph for
vertical impacts, in accordance with FEMA 320, “Taking Shelter from the Storm,” 2008 edition, and FEMA 361,
“Design and Construction Guidance for Community Saferooms,” 2008 edition.
Protocol 5
Department of Energy (DOE) impact standards.
1 – The ICC 500 – ICC/NSSA Standard for the Design and Construction of Storm Shelters is scheduled for inclusion in the 2009 editions of the International
Residential Code and the International Business Code. This is a Life Safety Standard which will use an Extreme Wind Map for Hurricanes with wind speeds
starting at 225 mph and with contours along the Atlantic and Gulf Coast stepping inland in 10mph increments to 160 mph. 2 – All impact tests are consistent with the Debris Impact Requirement of ICC-500.
