Development of In-Situ Sensor Package for OZ Saferooms: Project #04024

This project focuses on the design and development of an in-situ sensor package aimed at assessing damage to OZ Saferooms, engineered to withstand extreme weather events like tornadoes and hurricanes. Located in Rochester, NY, these continuous pour, steel-reinforced concrete structures are the world's safest. The project involves the installation of sensors during construction, performing destructive tests, and evaluating the results against computer simulations to refine OZ Saferoom products for future expansions. Join us to explore innovative engineering solutions!
