Abstract

Wind tunnel tests were carried out for estimating the wind loads of typical configurations of rack frame blocks, displayed during the erection phases of automated rack supported warehouses. Aerodynamic coefficients of rack frame members were also measured and used for the direct estimation of the wind loads on isolated uprights and pallet beams as well as to calibrate the wind tunnel test results of the rack frame blocks tested. Base shear forces and overturing moments at the base of each rack frame were used to develop a design method, which allows for the safety checks of the structure as well as the design of temporary bracings.
