Abstract
The results of an on-going research program to develop a design procedure for perforated industrial storage rack columns are presented. The design procedure includes the effects of distortional buckling. The types of columns studied include those commonly used in Europe and some that are used in the US. The design procedure is being developed based on finite element studies verified by physical testing. The design procedure involves the use of the current US rack column design approach with an extension to distortional buckling with Finite Strip Method (FSM) solutions and Direct Strength Method (DSM) approaches. The approach originally developed for individual columns is being studied for the behavior of such columns in a rack frame.

Design of Perforated Industrial Storage Rack Columns for Distortional Buckling
The results of an on-going research program to develop a design procedure for perforated industrial storage rack columns are presented. The design procedure includes the effects of distortional buckling. The types of columns studied include those commonly used in Europe and some that are used in the US. The design procedure is being developed based on finite element studies verified by physical testing.
