Even structural items can be made quite thin! There is a college design competition to make concrete canoes which can be 3/8" to 7/16" thick:

oh wow that takes me back. I remember touring, i think it was Texas A&M, in HS and they showed off their "concrete canoe" to the group. This would have been in the late 1900s.. 1995 or around there.
