Hola, estoy traduciendo el CV de un arquitecto para un programa australiano y al describir su trabajo usó la frase: "reforzamiento de cáscara estructural ". Ayuda con el término cáscara que no me aparece en ningún diccionario bilingue arquitectónico!

Reference

Reference information:
The author may be referring to the strengthening or reinforcing of concrete shells, but I would ask the client, if possible, to verify that he or she is actually referring to concrete, instead of some other material.

Example sentence(s):
  • Modern thin concrete shells, which began to appear in the 1920s, are made from thin steel reinforced concrete, and in many cases lack any ribs or additional reinforcing structures, relying wholly on the shell structure itself.
