Abstract
•Large economic importance of racking system warehouses.•Need of a specific code for Seismic design of steel racks systems with pallets.•Experimental assessment of the friction behavior of pallet-rack systems.•Experimental study of parameters influencing static friction of pallet-rack systems.
In order to investigate the sliding behavior of pallets stored on steel racking systems, a large number of sliding tests under both static and dynamic conditions were performed within the EU-RFCS Research Project “SEISRACKS: Storage Racks in Seismic Areas”. In this paper, the results obtained for the assessment of the Static Friction Factor between pallet and beams are described and commented upon.
