Rectangle Shape

I got some information in the mail from R-Panels. My package included a 17 minute construction video. The panels are a great idea for conventional construction, but don't seem to apply to pole shift survival. The panels come in different sizes, but are all rectangular in shape for square building construction. The panel is constructed of 2 plywood sheets with a foam core center, so using them to reinforce a dome is out.

I asked AFM Corporation of Excelsior, MN, manufacturers of R-Control panels, about octagon structures which they said are easily done. Their product has been used in dome structures by GDI of Flint, MI. I believe GDI does buildings of church size or larger. They may have other builders that do domes. You get a list of builders from their website. They have done buildings that are continuous panels instead of a separate foundation. They put polystyrene under the product for additional protection against insects. I think this is worth pursuing. Between the ability to do a geodesic dome and a continuous panel structure, this should greatly enhance a structure already capable of withstanding strong earthquakes and the most major of hurricanes.
