MRI’s aren’t magic. Magnetism decreases by the square of the distance from the magnet. Combined with as someone else said MRI rooms being specially built, the distance between the MRI and the concrete wall/floor is more than enough to decrease it to equal to or less than the normal stresses it is under.
