PEMB Interior columns
(OP)
For a typical 3 span gable roof PEMB frame, what are the designer's assumptions: The interior pipe columns pinned top and bottom and all the lateral load carried by the exterior tapered columns? or all columns (interior and exterior) work together to resist lateral loads in frame action?

In general though, what V427 says is true from my 30 years of experience with PEMB's.

I still do not know what an RCC structure is. I have googled it and come up with several papers discussing various aspects of RCC structures, but none of them define the meaning of the acronym. I assume the RC stands for "reinforced concrete" but what is the second "C"? Damned if I know!

I always read RCC as Roller Compacted Concrete, used for gravity dam building.

This illustrates the best way to introduce an acronym, i.e to define it at the beginning of your post or thread.
There are a number of articles on the internet about RCC structures which do not fall into the category of "Roller Compacted Concrete". Acronyms should be avoided, but if they cannot be avoided, they should be defined at the start of every thread. Otherwise, some of us may not know what you are talking about.

I have also heard of RCC as Roller Compacted Concrete.
