Abstract:Unbraced pallet racks are cold‐formed steel structures intended for the storage of products. They are subjected to severe lateral actions, and are particularly instability prone in the down aisle direction. Therefore, their design is compromised and needs of an accurate modelling. In current design practice, models using simplified beam formulations are regularly considered (such as Euler‐Bernoulli or Timoshenko), being them not able to reproduce torsional warping, or cross‐sectional distortion; these phenomen… Show more
