Will a seastead tilt over in strong winds?

Seasteading: Frequently Asked Questions
The short answer is "A little, but not very much", and the basic reason is that seastead's are very, very heavy. For the more technically inclined, they have a very high weight to surface area ratio, and their righting force increases with angle of deflection (it gets leverage). A free-floating seastead will list even less, as it will get pushed instead.

How strong were the winds?

Frequently Asked Questions about the 1900 Galveston Storm
Wind speeds measured as high as 100 mph before the wind gauge blew away.

What do I do about strong winds during growing season?

Frequently Asked Questions
New trees and large shrubs should be carefully staked to keep them rigidly in place. Keep lines taut, and use 3 or 4 stakes. Cushion trunks to prevent damage of rubbing. Mature trees may lose limbs during wind storms. Cabling allows branches to counter-brace one another. It is a procedure probably best left to professional arborists. Declining trees can actually topple during high winds. Since they can do significant damage in that process, keep a close eye on all your trees' vigor.

How will the treehouse affect the tree in strong winds?

The Treehouse Guide - Frequently Asked Questions
A treehouse will act as a sail in strong winds, which can add a large load to the tree's roots. Trees normally withstand excessive wind speeds by shedding parts of their structure, first leaves, then small branches, then large branches. This means that the area that catches the wind and could potentially push the tree over is limited to the large branches and trunk, as smaller parts will be blown off before wind speeds are high enough to push the tree over.

Before the thatch is placed on the roof, long brass screws are firmly inserted deep into the wooden roof laths. Twisted onto the screw is a long, heavy duty steel wire. Bundles of reeds are then placed onto the roof.

No, the two walls are spot welded together at the top of each section, and therefore, the air inside cannot rise because the space is dead air space.

Lightweight Concrete Materials
Strength is a relative term. Concrete mixes should be designed based on end use. High compressive strength is useful where deadload or abrasion are factors, but unnecessary for roofs and non-structural partitions. All concrete is deficient in tensile and shear strengths, however these are supplemented through structural reinforcement. Compressive strength in LCM can be made up to 24 Mpa, far exceeding most structural requirements.
