On of the biggest issues with a Quonset building is the amount of side force they place on a walls
I don't know what the lego blocks you've mentioned are but the instructions that comes with a quonset building state clearly the the walls or pads need to be tied together to prevent them from pushing out or rolling
We built a 40x44 in 2010, the photo looks bad as we had 3 rings up when a storm front rolled in and layed it back, we disassembled it and used rubber mallets to reshape the pieces and were able to reuse all of them
I posted the photo to show the walls and cross ties
The walls are 3 ft tall setting 12 inches below ground level, the outside of the wall is tapered so the wall is 18 inches at the bottom and 12 inches wide at the top. The cross ties are 6x6 concert with 1/2 inch rebar tied into the walls
A local shop bent me a 3/16 galvanized trough for the buildings panels to set in, they are anchored to the concert wall with 1/2"x4" tapcon anchor bolts, once the building was finished we filled the pockets in the trough with grout to add weigh and shed water
Here is the nearly finished barn 7 days later, we back filled around the walls so that they are 18 inches below grade
What is not shown is the 3 inch stone we added to the inside to raise the inside floor 6 inches above the outside dirt
It may have been a little overkill but I live on top of a hill were we get some pretty strong winds and after 10 1/2 years it hasn't moved
I'm 80 miles east of Evansville, Indiana so our weather is pretty close to the same
