Report, ResearchAbstract
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 is a major cause of structural failure for drive-in rack systems. The report investigates investigate the dynamic behaviour of a standard drive-in rack subjected to a down-aisle impact load. The effect of damping ratio, masses carried by the rack as well as the friction between the pallet and the rail track are investigated for impulse loading.This report is concerned with the behaviour of drive-in steel storage racks under horizontal impact load in the down-aisle direction.
