Looking for a quick way to find if something will survive a tornado missile strike? Try these calculators for either concrete or steel.
FEA Drop Tests Today, more and more manufacturers are switching to analytical drop tests before anything goes into production.

We found that API-650 tanks are more robust than most expect. The water in this tank absorbed 30% of the energy of a truck going 93 mph!
Tornado generated missiles can wreak havoc, especially on a nuclear power plant. We helped one site design and optimize a protection system.
