ABSTRACT:
A roof structure for a building having a non-rigid type frame, in which the roof structure includes roof panels secured to a secondary frame, the secondary frame being secured to a primary frame which is, in turn, secured to the walls of a building, and braces connected to the secondary frame so that lateral forces imposed on the side walls of the building are transmitted through the primary frame to the secondary frame and thence to the roof panels, said panels thus transferring the lateral forces imposed on the side walls of the building to the shear resisting walls or structure at the ends of the building.
