Abstract
Used tires are cut or shredded. Boxes are built. Vapor barriers are mounted in the boxes. Beams are fastened inside the boxes. Cut or shredded tires are added to the box. Force on a lid compresses the tires before the lid is fastened. Faces are offset to form linking tongues and grooves. Exposed portions are connected with fasteners to build walls and barriers. A tornado resistant structure based on the foregoing structural materials is formed to provide superior performance for resisting high winds over traditional framing methods or brick construction.
