Abstract
Steel frame versus rack supported warehouse structures
Highlights
Steel frame warehouse structures are essential building types that serve the commercial purpose of storage of goods in achieving today’s manufacturing and distribution needs determined by competitive markets
Conventional steel frame structures equipped with free standing rack configurations have been used to build warehouses, but with the advancement of technology, rack supported warehouses became very popular storage solution
The conventional steel frame buildings can combine the purpose of storage with other processes such as manufacturing, while rack supported warehouses are only serving the purpose of storage as its primary structure is based on pallet racks
Summary
Steel frame warehouse structures are essential building types that serve the commercial purpose of storage of goods in achieving today’s manufacturing and distribution needs determined by competitive markets. These buildings are usually large steel structures covering vast spans to provide the required capacity. Tehnički vjesnik 24, 4(2017), 1269-1276 buildings, will be analyzed and compared in terms of their technical feasibility, storage capacity, economic viability and flexibility of usage. These two structural systems will be explained briefly before proceeding with the comparison
