Experimental Stiffness of Pallet-Type Steel Storage Rack Tier Drop Connectors
Abstract
The down-aisle lateral load-resisting systems of pallet-type steel storage racks are, typically, frames utilizing special beam-to-column moment-resisting connections. The behavior of these connectors is poorly understood, and consequently, there is significant uncertainty as to proper values of connector stiffness and strength to use in design. This technical note presents the results of down-aisle shake table tests performed on steel …
