Particles of rubber tires are been using in landfill engineering as subgrade reinforcement for construction roads over soft soil and others researches suggest their application in civil engineering because of their low density, high durability, high thermal insulation and low cost compared with other fill materials [1].

Introduction The thin-walled shell structures are applied in various fields of engineering: in machine; aircraft and vessel building.
There are not rather simple and convenience for engineering calculations formulae for definition of critical compressive loading with consideration of various structural features, including values and locations of mentioned weakening.
