Abstract

This paper summarizes research on the cross-aisle stiffness and strength of industrial cold-formed steel rack upright frames for loads in cross-aisle direction. Tests were carried out at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain on joints as well as entire upright frames. A possible rather simple analysis procedure is developed and described.
