AN ANALYSIS OF REVIEWS ON THEORY OF THIN SHELLS AND ON THEIR APPLICATION

The materials presented in the paper can help to young researchers dealing with problems of geometry, theory of thin shells, and their application in building, can point out to the sub- jects of future investigations. It is shown that space structures give rise to the most interest of architects and designers due to highly speed computers and program complexes
