Design of Steel Equal Angle Lintels (No. R890)
Published 2008-01-01Single equal angle steel beams are often used as lintels to support eccentric loading acting normal to one flange. This loading causes combined biaxial bending and torsion, which is not allowed for in most steel design ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Impact tests, parametric impact studies and design impact forces on drive-in steel storage racks (No. R903)
Published 2009-01-01Extensively used in the industry to store goods, storage racks are frequently subjected to accidental impact forces from operating forklift trucks. There is currently little understanding of the nature of these impact ...Open AccessReport, Research
