Experimental Stiffness and Seismic Response of Pallet-Type Steel Storage Rack Connectors
Abstract
The down-aisle lateral load-resisting systems of pallet-type steel storage racks are typically moment frames utilizing special beam-to-column moment-resisting connections. Both the stability and seismic response of racks are strongly influenced by the rotational stiffness developed by the beam-to-column connectors. The behavior of these connectors is poorly known, and consequently there is significant uncertainty as to proper values of …
