Abstract: The down-aisle lateral load-resisting systems of pallet-type steel storage racks are typically moment frames utilizing special beam-to-column moment-resisting connections. Both the stability and seismic response of racks ...

Abstract: The down-aisle lateral load-resisting systems of pallet-type steel storage racks are, typically, frames utilizing special beam-to-column moment-resisting connections. The behavior of these connectors is poorly understood, ...
