Static Friction Coefficient Between Pallets and Beam Rail and Pallet Shear Stiffness Tests (No. R914)
Published 2011An experimental program was established at the University of Sydney to determine the coefficient of friction between various types of timber pallets and a typical Dematic beam rail. In addition, another test series was ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Experimental Investigation of High Strength Cold-Formed SupaCee Sections in Combined Bending and Shear (No. R907)
Published 2009High strength steel cold-formed purlins of lipped C or Z-sections are commonly used throughout the world, one of which is the SupaCeeE section (Lysaght, 2003). They contain additional return lips and web stiffeners which ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Buckling Analysis of Thin-Walled Sections under Localised Loading Using the Semi-Analytical Finite Strip Method (No. R951)
Published 2014Thin-walled sections under localised loading may lead to web crippling of the sections. This report develops the Semi-Analytical Finite Strip Method (SAFSM) for thin-walled sections subject to localised loading to investigate ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Trends in the Analysis and Design of Steel Framed Structures (No. R926)
Published 2012This paper surveys trends in the analysis and design of steel framed structures with reference to design codes such as the US AISC Specification, the UK BS5950, the Australian AS4100, the European EC3, and the Hong Kong ...Open AccessReport, Research -
The Dynamic Study of Drive-In Racks Under Horizontal Impact Load (No. R915)
Published 2011This report is concerned with the behaviour of drive-in steel storage racks under horizontal impact load in the down-aisle direction. Such impact loads due to forklifts striking an upright is a major cause of structural ...Open AccessReport, Research
