ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method for erecting the supporting wall of a domed structure is disclosed in which a peripheral foundation for the wall is formed conforming in plan generally to the periphery of the structure and has hollow box columns positioned thereon at predetermined points. The lower ends of the columns are secured to the foundation at a plurality of points with temporary moment connections for the purpose of resisting load moments during the erection procedure. Wall panels are secured to the columns to close the sides of the structure and a supporting ring formed of a plurality of precast segments is secured to the top of the columns. After the ring is completed and supported the temporary moment connections at the lower ends of the columns are released to leave only pin connections at the column bases whereby the entire wall structure acts as a complete structural unit. The dome,typically an air-supported fabric dome, is erected on the ring with its structural elements, namely cables, secured to the ring.
