Erecting a steel dome cage
Once the foundation has been poured with the dowels coming out and cured begins the task of erecting a dome steel cage. Nice to have an airform but if not use rib lathe used by stucco contractors. Once you have the shape you want from the steel cage then tie the rib lathe to the interior. Once the lathe is secure begin mixing mud. Any openings should have double triple steel around the entire opening for added reinforcement.
8 ton monolithic concrete dome tornado / hurricane storm shelter
Once you have applied 3 inches of 4000 psi concrete over the steel you will have a dome like the one above minus a door. The door is what rates the tornado protection of the safe room. Doors come in a variety of ratings up to blast proof costing thousands of dollars. The strength of the dome shell comes from its shape and design, larger at bottom than top, no wind resistance, no wind uplift.
