“…The section properties needed for this element are second order moments, centroid position and area. These properties are determined with consideration of the net area, i.e., the section most reduced due to perforation [14].…”

“…A lot of research has been reported on the subject of analyses and design of pallet rack structures, for example [4][5][6][7][8][9]. However few of these publications have reported the results of pattern loading as is often required by design codes such as Federation Europeene de la Manutention (FEM) code [10] and the Rack Manufacturers Institute (RMI) code [11].…”

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the effects of partial loading on the behaviour of steel pallet racks. A six level, six bay, 3-dimensional pallet rack frame model was built using ABAQUS and a geometrically non-linear analysis conducted. Twelve different load combinations were analysed under different boundary conditions and different side imperfections. Most combinations failed by sway buckling. Depending upon the side imperfection and the base condition critical combinations involved having completely unloaded bays or lifts adjacent to two or more fully loaded bays or lifts with reductions in capacity over a fully loaded rack of up to 40%.

“…They typically consist of upright frames connected by pallet beams. While the vertical uprights are usually mono-symmetric and open sections, the horizontal pallet beams are doublysymmetric and closed sections (Baldassino et al 2000;Freitas et al 2005). To ensure fast erection through simple connections between the uprights and the pallet beams, tab connectors are typically welded to the ends of the pallet beams and inserted into perforated uprights.…”

Local and Distortional Biaxial Bending Capacities of Cold-Formed Steel Storage Rack Uprights

Rack-supported buildings, also referred to as "clad racks", are currently gaining popularity in the logistic industry. The storage rack, usually manufactured from cold-formed steel members, supports both the building enclosure and the stored goods. Due to the combined action of the wind loading and stored pallets, uprights undergo biaxial bending. Internationally, the design of the uprights is performed in accordance to the provisions in the North American Specification (AISI S100:2012), Australian and New-Zeeland standard AS/NZS 4600 (2005) or Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-3, 2006) for design of cold-formed steel structures. In these Specifications, a linear interaction equation is used to account for members subject to biaxial bending and may be inaccurate. In order to produce safe and economical design guidelines, the actual interactive relationship between bending about the major and minor axes, for local and distortional buckling, is experimentally investigated in this study for two types of storage rack uprights. Results on perforated and non-perforated uprights are presented and discussed in this paper. Results show that a nonlinear interactive relationship governs the biaxial bending of the studied uprights. This relationship is discussed in some details and compared to the linear equation proposed by the international Specifications. Future studies are also discussed.
