Abstract
The article presents the results of experimental investigation carried on the structural members of a typical high storage racking system. The assessment of the mechanical characteristics and behaviour of the hooking beam-to-column joints were done in terms of shearing strength for one-sided configuration of beams attached. The experiments were performed in accordance with the guidelines contained in European standard EN 15512 “Steel static storage systems. Adjustable pallet racking systems. Principles for structural design”. Shear strength, just right after the bending moment resistance is the basic mechanical parameter, characterizing this type of connections. The specific way the storage systems are performing their function, associated with the use of time-varying position of the beams and the exceptionally high rate of change in the size and position of the loads acting on the joints, tend to in-depth analysis of the shear phenomenon for this type of joints, very rarely used in any other structures.
