A fully framed building where glue-laminated bents and arches are used to support roof loads over large open areas. The bents and arches are usually constructed at a central plant and transported to the site and erected. Typically, laminations are thin enough to bend easily (1"- 2") to the desired shape (e.g., arch or A-frame).
