Behaviour of cold-formed steel perforated sections in compression. Part 1—Experimental investigations

Koiter Asymptotic Analysis of Thin-walled Cold-formed Steel Uprights Pallet Racks

“…The analysis started on pallet rack uprights in compression, based on an intensive experimental study carried out at the Politehnica University of Timisoara [16,17].…”

“…1. Additional details related to crosssection, perforations, lengths, material, experimental tests and numerical simulations can be found in [16,17]. The members will be denoted in the following as RSB 125 × t in the case of brut cross-section and as RSN 125 × t for net cross-section, t being the thickness.…”

Influence of the cold work effects in perforated rack columns under pure compression load

“…Karren and Winter [18] analysed and developed several theoretical models to calculate the strength enhancement in corner areas of cold-formed thin-walled sections. Crisan et al [19] analysed the changes of the yield strength and the ultimate strength in corner and flat areas of rack sections. The results showed that corner coupons presented an increase of the yield strength and the ultimate strength, whereas the changes of mechanical properties in flat regions were insignificant.…”

A high performance flexibility-based GBT finite element

“…They often operate in a complex loading environment and a realistic evaluation of their structural performance requires to account for the presence of local, distortional and global behaviors and their interactions [2][3][4][5]. For these reasons the use of classical beam models is often not effective and resorting to refined formulations becomes unavoidable.…”
