Combination shells and frame structures

 

Combination shells and frame structures

Small: Rigid shells can resist shear and torsion loads better
than lattice structures.

Large: Rigid shells are less safe than lattice structures as they develop fractures or cracks which can be unstoppable. Whilst lattices can have redundancy built into them. The failure of one member does not mean failure of the whole.
