Reinforced structure apparatus

Abstract

An apparatus for manufacturing reinforced structures wherein a hardened steel shell is constructed to desired specifications and anchored to a structure's foundation. The remainder of the structure is constructed around the hardened steel shell, thereby incorporating the steel shell as an integrated room or section of the structure.

1 . A reinforced structure comprising:
 a) a foundation;   b) a building, having a plurality of rooms, attached to said foundation; and   c) a steel shell structure having an internal space and at least one opening extending into said internal space, wherein said steel shell structure is anchored to said foundation and is substantially coincident with at least one room of said building.   
   
   
       2 . The reinforced structure of  claim 1 , wherein said steel shell structure comprises a tubular steel frame. 
   
   
       3 . The reinforced structure of  claim 2 , wherein said steel shell structure further comprises a plurality of steel plates attached to said tubular steel frame. 
   
   
       4 . The reinforced structure of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one wall covering material on at least one internal surface of said steel shell structure. 
   
   
       5 . The reinforced structure of  claim 4 , wherein said at least one wall covering material comprises sheet rock. 
   
   
       6 . The reinforced structure of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one finish material to at least one external surface of said steel shell structure. 
   
   
       7 . The reinforced structure of  claim 6 , wherein said at least one finish material is brick. 
   
   
       8 . A reinforced structure comprising:
 a) a foundation;   b) a building, having a plurality of rooms, attached to said foundation;   c) a steel shell structure having an internal space and at least one opening extending into said internal space, wherein said steel shell structure is anchored to said foundation and is substantially coincident with at least one room of said building; and   d) an electrical generator wired to at least one electrical outlet disposed in said steel shell structure.   
   
   
       9 . The reinforced structure of  claim 9 , wherein said electrical generator is disposed within a steel case attached to said steel shell structure. 
   
   
       10 . The reinforced structure of  claim 8 , wherein said electrical generator is fueled by natural gas. 
   
   
       11 . The reinforced structure of  claim 8 , wherein said steel shell structure comprises a tubular steel frame. 
   
   
       12 . The. reinforced structure of  claim 9 , wherein said steel shell structure further comprises a plurality of steel plates attached to said tubular steel frame. 
   
   
       13 . The reinforced structure of  claim 8 , further comprising at least one wall covering material on at least one internal surface of said steel shell structure. 
   
   
       14 . The reinforced structure of  claim 11 , wherein said at least one wall covering material is sheet rock. 
   
   
       15 . The reinforced structure of  claim 8 , further comprising at least one finish material to at least one external surface of said steel shell structure. 
   
   
       16 . The reinforced structure of  claim 13 , wherein said at least one finish material is brick. 
   
   
       17 . The reinforced structure of  claim 8 , wherein said steel shell structure further comprises at least one window opening. 
   
   
       18 . The reinforced structure of  claim 17 , further comprising at least one window having blast resistant glass in said at least one window opening. 
   
   
       19 . The reinforced structure of  claim 8 , wherein said steel shell structure further comprises at least one doorway opening. 
   
   
       20 . The reinforced structure of  claim 17 , further comprising at least one reinforced door in said at least one at least one doorway opening.
