The width is 60 feet and the height is 20 feet in the center ..

I am confused. How many arches are you planning on having? One, two, or many?

Two thoughts: One is can you support it by the roof and when it snows , lower it to the ground. The second is that it would take less steel if you figured out how to beef up the roof.
