Experimental buckling behavior of steel pallet rack frames stabilized by single-sided spine bracing

Steel pallet rack frames stabilized by single-sided spine bracing are efficient structural systems in that they commonly carry a large number of pallets while utilizing only limited footprints. This research experimentally establishes the global buckling behavior of the steel pallet racks under vertical loads and stabilized by single-sided spine bracing. A total of eight rack frames are involved in the test program. The test setup was designed …
