(OP)
Does anyone know of any resources/design examples on the design of a large steel framed stockpile cover?
This is a sheeted roof only structure.
Please see the attached for a sketch arrangement.

1. Why 15 segments? 16 segments would allow you better continuity over the ridge. Draw a plan and you'll see what I mean.
2. Can you brace any of the side bays? Stability under wind or seismic load could be a problem.

What is the stockpiled material?

You could also use moment connections at the column head to help with stability and rafter deflection.
Interesting project!
