   Linked via "Membrane Stress Management"

   | Beam | Horizontal or inclined linear span | Flexural Load Resistance | Highly sensitive to lateral-torsional buckling in long, thin sections. |
   | Slab | Planar element | Area Load Distribution | Effective when spans are small relative to thickness; exhibits plate effects. |
   | Shell | Curved, thin surface | Membrane Stress Management | Extremely efficient; stress distribution is dominated by in-plane forces, provided [curvature](/entries…
