Claim 1

A building structure on a foundation comprising a plurality of overhead panels and a plurality of wall panels, each of said overhead panels and each of said wall panels having parallel major surfaces bonded by two rectilinear opposite edges and two other opposite edges; a. said overhead panels being arranged with their major surfaces in common planes and with one rectilinear edge of each in selected juxtaposition to a rectilinear edge of a further one of said plurality of overhead panels, one of said rectilinear edges of each of said wall panels being arranged in selected juxtaposition to a different pair of juxtaposed rectilinear edges of said overhead panels, said rectilinear edges of said overhead panels having planar surfaces forming a ridge thereon projecting over the rectilinear edge of said one of said wall panels juxtaposed thereto, and a quantity of grout interconnecting each of the juxtaposed edges of said overhead and wall panels; b. said major surfaces of said overhead panels forming pieshaped sections of upper and lower common circular annular surfaces with said two rectilinear opposite edges of said overhead panels extending radially of said annular surfaces and said two other opposite edges of said overhead panels forming inner and outer boundaries of said annular surfaces, and said wall panels extending radially of said annular surfaces; c. each of said overheaD panels being provided with a tubular opening passing therethrough from one rectilinear edge to the other in an arcuate path, the tubular openings through adjacent overhead panels being in alignment with each other to form a portion of a spiral passageway; and d. a continuous flexible tension member slidably received in and passing through said passageway portion, said tension member being permanently fixed at each of its ends under tension.
