Structures, which keep their shape and support loads, even without a frame, or solid mass material inside, are called shell structures. These structures use a thin, carefully shaped, outer layer of material, to provide their strength and rigidity. The shape of a shell structure spreads forces throughout the whole structure, which means every part of the structure supports only a small part of the load, giving it its strength.
Examples include: igloos, egg cartons, turtle shell, food or pop cans, or, even bubbles in foam and cream puffs.

What is the definition of a shell structure?
A shell is a building that is empty in the inside. Typically a shell permit is obtained for a commercial/retail property that does not have a Tenant. The owner will fill this empty space and then a Tenant Improvement (TI) Permit is obtained. The shell permit would include only the most basic structure the code will allow. The main shape of the building, exiting, egress lighting (exit lighting), the minimum number of restrooms required. The shell permit does not include occupancy. A Tenant can not move in until they obtain a Tenant Improvement Permit. If a restaurant moved in and wanted a Tenant Improvement they would provide drawings for all seating, kitchens, lighting, mechanical, electrical, plumbing for ONLY the portion that the restaurant...the rest of the structure remains unoccupied until a TI Permit is obtained

Is a ball a shell structure?
No, a ball is not considered a shell structure. A shell structure is typically defined as a thin, curved material that provides strength and stability while enclosing a space, like a dome or a shell of an egg. A ball, on the other hand, is a solid object with a uniform shape and does not have the thin, hollow characteristics of a shell structure.

Is there a relation between space truss and shell structure?
There is no relation between space truss and shell structure, a shell structure cannot behave like space truss, the distribution of force in a shell structure behave like a beam or a plate, and space truss behave more like a roof frame
