Historically, strongrooms were built in the basement of the bank where the ceilings were vaulted, hence the name. Whether we are talking about the arched ceilings or the armored vault however, both are architectural features. They are now typically built primarily of thick steel-reinforced concrete, although steel plates are sometimes incorporated into the walls, floors, and ceiling to slow down would-be safe-crackers who may attempt to tunnel into the vault. Vibration and sound detectors set off an alarm if a lot of noise is made over a period of hours. These measures defeat most robbers who would tunnel into the vault from beneath or through a wall.
