Being that MILLIONS are out there in use makes me think they didn't just guess at how much they could withstand. I'll bet they know EXACTLY.

These things sell for 1000-$1500 in my area. I look at them with a smile every time I seem em. No reason this couldn't be installed in a week end (not including room set up). I agree a shed over it would make venting really easy. I want water lines in mine! Draining will be the trick, I guess do a bed of rock, that solves the leveling part too. That link to the container house thing gave me some wicked inspiration for a cheap vacation house.

A meter of dirt per sq. inch isnt that much weight at all. Good luck!!!

Okay, here's what you do. Take a 1"pvc pipe one meter long and fill it with dirt and wet it completely for the sake of this discussion. Weigh it minus the weight of the pipe and Viola, you have how much weight is placed upon that container STEEL top per sq. inch.
Not an issue.
I'll spend a night in it during a tropical storm any time.

Before any one anal 
posts to me that a 1' pvc pipe is not equal to a square inch, I am fully aware of that. I just figured that "anotherchance" would more likely have a piece of 1inch PVC as opposed to a 1 inch square pipe. Actually a variance of safety is built into the PVC equation being that it will contain more dirt.

there is zero reason to think that the steel not used in structural support will be as strong as you think it will be just cause you would like it to be
