What is a defining characteristic of shell structures?
They are uniform and solid throughout
They are thin, curved, and strong
They rely on a network of beams
They are primarily used for foundations
Which of the following is an example of a shell structure?

How does the curvature of a shell structure benefit its design?
It makes the structure heavier
It requires more material for construction
It distributes forces evenly
It makes the structure less stable
What two main aspects should be considered when classifying a structure?
Its age and material
Its design and how it carries loads
Its color and location
Its height and width
