concrete bunker

Bomb-resistant underground structure

A concrete bunker is a fortified structure built from reinforced concrete, designed to provide protection from bombs, artillery, or other threats.

Military bunkers shelter personnel and equipment during attacks.

The term also describes civilian structures like storm shelters or Cold War–era fallout shelters: The old concrete bunker had been converted into a wine cellar.
