Concrete shell building has 2 main fields

A) Ferrocement Boat Building (Mesh wire based method)

B) Structural Concrete Building (Cast method used in civil engineering)

Both Methods has been used to create floating structures. Ferrocement is used in boatbuilding while structural concrete building is used for industrial floating structures like oil and gas platforms.
