| dc.description.abstract | This 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 us a major cause of structural failure for drive-in rack systems. The report investigates the load path through the rack structure by the use of finite element analysis. A series of parametric studies is carried out to study the influence of the number of bays in the down-aside direction on the behaviour of the system. A simplified design model is also developed and compared with finite element predictions of displacements and internal forces, generally showing good agreement. | en_AU |
