ABSTRACT:
A modular building structure is provided for erection on a circular foundation. The building is formed from a plurality of truss members mounted between the circular foundation and a compression ring at the crown of each truss member. Roof panels fixed to said truss members form a generally spherical building shell for storage of all types of material. The truss members are made in modules or segments that are hinged together for easy erection and simple fastening together to form a unitary rigid box beam structure forming the structural framing of the building. The modular roof panels are formed to mount between adjacent pairs of truss members so as to overlap the truss members and abut each other to form a weather-tight sealed joint and roof structure. The spherical building requires no side wall structure and roofing materials may be used throughout to weather-proof the building.
