The document discusses the key points of cyclone resistant construction. It recommends using circular, hexagonal, or octagonal building shapes to improve aerodynamics during cyclones. Corner rounding is also suggested for rectangular structures. Design considerations include using reinforced concrete structures, integrating vertical stiffeners and horizontal bands, and avoiding large openings or projections on walls.

2. Cyclone : A violent storm, often of vast extent,
characterized by high winds rotating about a calm center of
low atmospheric pressure. This center moves onward,
often with a velocity of 50 km/h.

5.  circular, hexagonal, octagonal shape is
suitable.
 However, square or rectangular may be
used provided the peripheral corners are
rounded for improving the aerodynamics of
the structure.
