A system of modular components for on-site assembly of a shelter for an above-ground structure to protect the structure from blast, wind, fire or other physical hazards. A pyramidal shelter with triangular or rectangular base is formed by joining side panels to each other. Each side panel includes a triangular frame covered, except at access hatch, observation port and door openings, with either steel plate or diamond steel mesh to which blast-resistant, fire-resistant or other kinds of coatings or panels are applied. A corner anchor assembly to support each corner of a shelter has a lower plate, an overlying split plate, and a pair of upstanding, anchor rods attached to the split plates for insertion into hollow, lower portions of side beams of adjacent side panels. The corner anchor assemblies facilitate expansion of an assembled shelter by addition of more modular components.

1. A modular system for on-site assembly of a shelter and attachment of the shelter to a ground surface, comprising: three or more factory-preassembled, triangular side panels, each of said triangular side panels being of equal size and including a triangular, panel frame, said triangular, panel frame comprising a rigid first side beam, a rigid second side beam, anda rigid base beam, the first and second side beams having upper ends joined at an apex of said triangular, panel frame and the base beam extending between, and joined to, opposite, lower end portions of the first and second side beams;coupling means attached to the first and second side beams for attaching in mating engagement parallel, side by side alignment a first side beam of said triangular, panel frame to a second side beam of a triangular, panel frame of any other triangular side panel of said system; andcovering means partially or fully covering at least one side of said triangular panel frame;anchor means reversibly attachable to a lower end portion of each of said triangular side panels for securing a triangular side panel to the ground at a location selected for on-site assembly of the shelter, said anchor means including a corner anchor assembly for each corner of said shelter after said shelter has been assembled, said corner anchor assembly includinga lower anchor plate having an upper surface and an opposite, lower surface;a split, upper anchor plate comprising a first upper plate and a second upper plate in coplanar, side by side relation;wherein the lower anchor plate and the first upper plate and the second upper plate each have a plurality of rebar apertures disposed and dimensioned for insertion of rebar therethrough;fastener means for reversibly attaching the first and/or second upper plates to an upper surface of the lower anchor plate; andtelescopically adjustable means attached to, and extending upward and away from, the first upper plate and/or the second upper plate for reversibly attaching either one or both of the first and second upper plates to a lower end of a first or second side beam; andwherein, once said modular system has been assembled at said location to form a shelter and has been attached to said ground surface by rebar driven into the ground through said rebar apertures of each corner anchor assembly, and the first and second upper anchor plates of each corner anchor assembly overlie, rest upon, and are attached by said fastener means to the lower anchor plate of said each corner anchor assembly and are attached by the telescopically adjustable means to a lower end of a first or second side beam, either of the first or second upper anchor plates of each corner anchor assembly can be detached from the lower anchor plate thereof to facilitate removal of a side panel from the shelter and attachment of additional side panels to the shelter and thereby expand the size of the shelter. 2. The modular system of claim 1, wherein each of the first and second side beams has a hollow, lower end portion and each of the first and second upper plates includes an upstanding anchor rod, said upstanding anchor rod having a lower end attached to said upper plate at a 60 degree angle with respect to said upper plate and an opposite, upper end, said opposite, upper end being dimensioned for insertion into the hollow, lower end portion of a first or second side beam, and means for reversibly locking the upstanding anchor rod within said hollow, lower end portion. 3. The modular system of claim 1, further including sealing means for sealing gaps and interfaces between side triangular panels once the triangular side panels have been assembled on-site to form a shelter. 4. The modular system of claim 1, wherein the base beam of one or more of the triangular side panels comprises steel square tubing reinforced by steel angle. 5. The modular system of claim 2, wherein, for each triangular side panel, the coupling means includes steel strapping having a plurality of spaced-apart apertures;said steel strapping is attached to and extends lengthwise along said first and second side beams at a first and at a second, opposite edge of each of said triangular side panels; andsaid steel strapping is oriented with respect to an interior surface of said panel of said triangular side panels either 90 degrees interiorly, 45 degrees proximally, 135 degrees distally, or 30 degrees proximally. 6. The modular system of claim 2, wherein at least one of the three or more triangular side panels includes a rectangular door frame, and said door frame comprises a header disposed at an upper end of said door or hatch access frame, which header extends between, and is attached to, upper portions of the first and second side beams of said triangular side panel; and parallel left and right jambs that are attached to left and right end portions of the header and extend therefrom to the base beam of said triangular side panel, each of said left and right jambs having a hollow, lower end portion; andthe anchor means further includesfor each of the left and right jambs, a mid-base beam anchor assembly, comprising a mid-base anchor plate having one or more rebar apertures;an upstanding anchor rod, said upstanding anchor rod having a lower end attached to the mid-base anchor plate at a 60 degree angle with respect to said mid-base anchor plate and an opposite, upper end, said opposite, upper end being shaped and dimensioned for telescopic insertion into the hollow, lower end portion of either the left or the right jamb, and means for reversibly locking said anchor rod within said lower end portion. 7. The modular system of claim 5, wherein the modular system includes at least four equilateral, triangular side panels that can be assembled on-site to form a square pyramid shelter, said square pyramid shelter having a square base, and said steel strapping is oriented 90 degrees interiorly with respect to each of said four, equilateral, triangular side panels. 8. The modular system of claim 7, further including a square floor frame, said square floor frame being attachable to the base beams of said four triangular side panels in congruent, covering relation to said square base of said square pyramid shelter, and said square floor frame comprises an orthogonal grid formed by longitudinally spaced-apart, lateral struts intersecting and attached to laterally spaced-apart, longitudinal struts. 9. The modular system of claim 8, wherein the base beams of said four equilateral, triangular side panels and the lateral and longitudinal struts of the orthogonal grid of said floor frame comprise square steel tubing.
