In this paper, the complex nonlinear buckling behaviors of pressurized latticed cylindrical shell roofs affected by initial imperfections have been represented. These nonlinear numerical experiments for various imperfection amplitudes and modes have precisely been analyzed on account for the agreements between the buckling modes at the lower bound to these associated scattering buckling loads and an alternative simple calculation value of modes based upon the continuum shell analogy. This simple approach using the continuum shell analogy would be useful for the actual buckling design of single layer cylindrical latticed roofs.
