German term

Schalen

German to English Tech/Engineering Architecture Concrete structures
Beton lässt sich nicht nur bei großen Bauten wie Brücken oder Schalen einsetzen.

I haven't yet found any translation of Schale that seems appropriate to large concrete structures. I know there are such things as the Super Bowl or other stadia that use a lot of concrete and are called a bowl, but I'm not convinced that they are really what is meant here.
