Paper Title
Comparative Analysis of a Shallow Shell with The Use of Metal and Basalt Reinforcement
Abstract
The article considers the advantages of shell construction with basalt reinforcement in comparison with metal,
their behavior is analyzed when reinforcing concrete. To elaborate and make it easier to answer the question of the
recommendable reinforcement material for the analyzed structure on this paper, a computer analysis was carried out to
compare the parameters of composite basalt and metal fittings for the structure. Basalt bars commonly known as Basalt Fiber
Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) is an innovative component, and hence the differences and limitations of their bondage with
concrete in structural members in comparison with conventional steel reinforcement of RCC members are identified. The
article considers the calculation by the finite element method of the reinforced concrete shell on the curvilinear plan using
two variants of reinforcement, basalt reinforcement and metal.
