What is The MMH Project?
Posted by Majd
The MMH Project stands for a Model of a Multi-purpose Shelter.
It is an engineering combination of several technologies and engineering practices to protect and shield against natural disasters, blast (Nuclear detonation), disease infections and hazardous radiations putting the safety, environment, and economical aspects respectively into consideration.
The MMH Project is an underground structure to sustain the lives of 10,000 persons at optimal capacity, and 20,000 persons at maximum capacity. It should also provide safety and civil services for a minimum period of two weeks against the effects just mentioned above. The creators of The MMH Project claim that it is the largest underground shelter in the world.
The main focus of The MMH Project is to withstand a nuclear detonation, specifically a 1 Megaton nuclear detonation, at a distance of 3 miles away from the center of the explosion. The MMH Project not only handles the dead and live load resulting from its own weight and soil above the structure, but also accounts for lateral and vertical load resulting from the impact load.
- We compared The MMH Project to a number of publicly announced shelters around the world, and research proved that at a capacity of 20,000 persons, The MMH Project is the largest shelter in the world.
- A 1 Megaton nuclear bomb is equivalent to 77 atomic bombs such as the one dropped on Hiroshima.
