WAYS OF INCREASING OF LOADING CAPACITY OF THE REINFORCED CONCRETE SHALLOW SHELLS WITH A FLAT RECTANGULAR CONTOUR

Abstract

Shallow shells with variable curvature, prestressing contour and fixed above by horizontal reinforcing of two opposite contour elements are considered in the given article. These two offered ways practically produces non-moment state and increase loading capacity of the shallow shells several times. Method of definition of loading capacity of the shallow shells with a flat rectangular contour was worked out, and it's aim consists of that initial moment state before loss of loading capacity is described by nonlinear differential equations of the theory of the shallow shells. And then accentuating the main part of the solution of equations we receive the linear system of homogeneous  differential equations with variable coefficients. The solution of the linearizated equations enables to define the forms of losing of loading capacity of shallow shells.
