Quonset Hut Lateral Action in the Longitudinal Axis

[mcustructureman]

Hi all,

Does anyone have any good references or documents that discuss the lateral action of a timber quonset hut with no side walls (half cylinder) in the longitudinal axis. See picture attached below, imagine that but without the steel and instead glulam arches with a timber diaphragm.

Does Item 24 help at all?

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Do you feel any better?
