This is too complicated to answer as written. First what do you mean by "hit"?
The effect wold depend on several variables, some of which are:
- yield
- burst height/depth
- burst slant range
- etc.
For a subsurface burst nearby at medium to large yield, even highly reinforced concrete buildings would collapse. Such bursts were designed to destroy underground missile silos, which are about as blast resistant as possible.
Airbursts, even of very high yield directly above a reinforced concrete building are likely to do little damage.

It is unlikely that the building would survive a direct hit from a nuclear bomb due to the extreme destructive force and radiation effects of a nuclear explosion. The impact would likely cause severe damage, if not complete destruction, to the building and surrounding area.

Will a cockroach survive a nuclear explosion?
depends on where he is. just like it would depend on where you were whether you would survive or not.
Can anything survive a nuclear blast?
It is highly unlikely that anything directly at the site of a nuclear blast would survive due to the extreme heat, pressure, and radiation. However, some organisms like extremophiles have shown the capability to survive in extremely harsh conditions and may have a chance of surviving indirectly through protective mechanisms.
Where is the safest place in London to survive a nuclear bomb?
There is no definitive "safest" place in London to survive a nuclear bomb as the impact would be widespread. However, underground structures such as the London Underground network or purpose-built nuclear shelters may provide some level of protection from initial blast and radiation effects. It is important to follow official guidance in the event of a nuclear attack.
How can you survive a nuclear explosion?
The best ways to increase your chances of survival in a nuclear explosion are to seek immediate shelter in a sturdy building or underground, stay there until the fallout has decreased to safer levels, and follow emergency instructions from local authorities. It is important to minimize exposure to radiation by staying indoors, using thick walls or a basement for protection, and avoiding contaminated areas. Additionally, having a preparedness plan and a well-stocked emergency kit can help you stay safe in case of a nuclear event.
Can you survive a nuke in a fridge?
No, surviving a nuclear explosion by hiding in a fridge like in the movie "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" is not realistic. The impact and heat from a nuclear explosion would be far too extreme for a refrigerator to provide any protection. It's best to follow official safety guidelines for nuclear emergencies.
Would lawyers survive a nuclear war?
Cockroaches would survive a nuclear war. Since lawyers are an even lower life-form they should too.
Will a cockroach survive a nuclear explosion?
depends on where he is. just like it would depend on where you were whether you would survive or not.
What insects can survive a nuclear blast?
A direct nuclear blast - nothing. However it is said that cockroaches would possibly survive radiation where other animals would be killed.
If you survive a nuclear bomb would there be mental side effects?
Probably.
What major bombing did roaches survive?
It is a myth that roaches could survive a nuclear bomb. The heat would evaporate them.
What scientists would be needed to build a nuclear power plant?
None. Building a nuclear power station is a job for engineers.
How can you keep nuclear plants safer?
Not building them in earthquake zones would be one way.
Would a tank survive a nuclear attack?
To do that it would have to have CBRN protection levels i.e. be sealed from CBRN threats. Older tanks wouldn't survive by a longshot, newer tanks might be able to, depends on model.
What would happen if hundreds of nuclear bombs hit in one place?
the whole world would die, directly from the blast, the shockwave or nuclear radition. every piece of food would be contaminated so even if you did survive there would be nothing to eat or drink.
What year did Halifax become a country?
That would certainly be a huge surprise to Halifax residents!- - Most of them still seem to think Halifax is part of Canada
If a nuke hit your town and you jumped in the pool would you survive?
No ~ you would be VAPORIZED along with your water, which would superheat and boil you just before you ignited into nuclear dust.
If you could blow up a building how would you do it?
use nuclear bomb,999999999 kegs of dynamite and heli-R
