Innovations and traditions: application of fiberglass for revival of dome roofs of church monuments of architecture

Abstract

This paper is aimed at determining the dome roof design most suitable for the restoration of old churches with a weakened ability of load-bearing walls and the improvement of the operation of enclosing structures. The authors compare the designs of church dome roofs. They justify the use of fiberglass in the manufacture of dome roofs of church monuments of architecture from the decorative-aesthetic and constructive perspective. They study the aerodynamic characteristics of the church dome roof to determine the most difficult design places. Solid works suite-based visualization is used in the study.
