A Quonset hut () is a simple building made of steel and with two side-walls having the shape of a half-circle.
Quonset huts are made at a factory and then later put together at their location.
They use steel that is corrugated and galvanized.
The Quonset hut was first designed in the United States.
It was based on the Nissen hut, which was made by the British during World War I. Hundreds of thousands of Quonset huts were made during World War II.
After the war, the left over huts were sold to the public.
The name comes from the site where they were first made.
This was Quonset Point at the Davisville Naval Construction Battalion Center in Davisville, Rhode Island.
Design and history
The first Quonset huts were made in 1941 for the United States Navy.
They needed a building that could be used for many different purposes.
At the same time, it had to be light and easy to ship.
It also had to be possible to put it together without skilled workers.
The George A. Fuller construction company made the first Quonset huts.
They were made within 60 days of signing the contract.
Afterwards Quonset huts were made by many factories around the world.
The original design was a  ×  building with a  radius.
The most common design was  ×  with a  radius.
This created  of usable floor space with optional  overhangs at each end to protect the entrances from the weather.
Other sizes were also made.
The sides were made from corrugated steel sheets.
The two ends were covered with plywood which had doors and windows.
The inside was insulated and had pressed wood lining and a wood floor.
The building could be placed on concrete, on pilings, or directly on the ground with a wood floor.
The inside space was open, so it could be used for a variety of purposes.
Some uses were as barracks, latrines, medical and dental offices, isolation wards, housing, and bakeries.
About 150,000 to 170,000 Quonset huts were made during World War II.
The military then sold the extra huts to the public after the war.
Many are still used in the United States for various purposes.
Some are also still in active use at the United States military bases.

The Planck epoch is the earliest period of time in the history of the universe, before the time passed was equal to the Planck time (tₚ) ; that is from zero to approximately 10⁻⁴³ seconds.
The Planck scale is the physical scale beyond which current physical theories may not apply and cannot be used to calculate what happened.
At this time scale, every physical quantities like temperature, energies etc were in the range of Planck units values.
During the Planck epoch, the temperature and average energies within the universe were so high that even subatomic particles could not form and even the four fundamental forces that shape our universe were combined and formed one unified fundamental force.
Traditional Big Bang cosmology predicts a gravitational singularity before this time, but this theory relies on the theory of general relativity, which is thought to break down for this epoch due to quantum effects.
Due to the extraordinarily small scale of the universe at that time, the quantum effects of gravity were the strongest and it is believed that cosmology and physics are assumed to have been dominated by the quantum effects of gravity.
At this scale, the unified force is assumed to be unified with gravitation.
Immeasurably hot and dense state of the Planck epoch is succeeded by the grand unification epoch, where gravitation force is separated from the unified fundamental force.
