Each paired transverse brace is made in the form of two flexible branches independently connected into alternating joint unit. Arched structure has system of additional braces each of which symmetrically connects ends of load-carrying members in diagonal direction of framework. Joint units of load-carrying members of framework are made in the form of flexible ties secured in points of crossing of load-carrying members of framework in diagonal cross-shaped order. Structure may include flexible ties of joint units of load-carrying members of framework with application to their contact surface of highly adhesive layer, for instance, made in the form of scotch tape. EFFECT: higher adaptability to construction. 5 cl, 5 dwg
