- Monocoque Constructionassociated_withConstruction method using a lightweight wall of ribs covered with plywood so the whole acts as a box beam; extended to hollow concrete members for high moment of inertia.
- Grass Stalk as Structural Analogy for Hollow Membersassociated_withAlexander uses the grass stalk — hollow, thin-walled, highly flexible yet structurally efficient — as the biological model for monocoque column and beam design.
