Characterization of the seismic behavior of steel pallet racks
in cross-aisle direction

ABSTRACT: Stability of steel storage racks in the cross-aisle direction is typically ensured by cold-formed
steel bolted upright frames with diagonal bracing. Accurately determining the shear behaviour of these frames is
essential for a proper seismic design and stability of the rack. In this paper, an experimental study of cross-frame ...
