ABSTRACT:
A protective annular construction for protecting surface or subsurface facilities against shock. In one embodiment, the invention utilizes concentric slip formed concrete cylinders, at least partially embedded in the soil as a sacrificial construction to dissipate the shock. A method of forming the construction by slip casting concrete shapes followed by, or simultaneously excavating the soil beneath the void between the concrete shapes to allow the cylinders to descend into the soil.
