Abstract: An impervious shelter is made of tube-shaped modules fitted end to end. The invention pertains more especially to the junction between the facing ends of the modules. Each module has an outer shell covered on the inside by a metal sheet. At the facing ends of two modules, the metal sheets are prolonged by collars which fit into one another. At least one of the collars has a grooved and flexible part which can change shape without breaking when the shelter is subjected to external stresses.
