Abstract:
1. A building structure comprising: a) a framework, having a plurality of longitudinally spaced-apart arches; b) a longitudinal member that extends down the length of the entire building structure along the top of each of the arches to serve as a ridgepole; c) the top of each arch comprising a transverse truss having two lateral truss ends, each truss includes an upper arced tube-like member and a lower arced tube-like member extending between the two truss ends whereat such members are joined at their respective ends by a truss end bracket, the lower arced member being upwardly curved with a curvature which is less than the curvature of the upper arced tube-like member to provide a web opening between such components; d) a “V”-shaped web member which is symmetrically mounted on the lower arced member of the truss at its center point, such “V”-shaped web member extending upwardly and outwardly from such center point of the lower arced member, across the web opening to connect with the upper arced tube-like member at two locations which are located symmetrically on either side of the mid-point of the upper arced tube-like member, wherein the apex is connected at the central point by a bracket having upwardly extending flange-like wings that are fastened to the “V”-shaped web member on either side of its lower apex, which flanges are also fastened to the central portion of the lower arced tube-like member.
