Analysis of the Compression Behaviour of Reinforced Photocurable Materials Used in Additive Manufacturing Processes Based on a Mask Image Projection System
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-08-16)
Article
Open AccessMask image projection based on stereolithography is an additive manufactured technology based on a Frontal Photopolymerization Process. Therefore, photocurable resins are used to build-up parts layer by layer. In this ... -
Analytical design method for the improvement of steel structures stability
(2021-09)
Article
Open AccessThis article presents a design method for the improvement of steel structures stability by modifying their structural elements parameters. The available parameters can be selected from a predefined list of stiffness and ... -
Comparison between numerical models for unbraced multiple bay pallet racks
(John Wiley & sons, 2023)
Conference report
Open AccessUnbraced conventional pallet racks are structures intended for the storage of goods (commonly palletized); they are composed of vertical uprights, horizontal beams, and braces, connected together to form a steel skeleton-like ... -
Concrete-filled cold-formed chord studs to improve the seismic performance of steel framing buildings
(University of Sydney, 2023)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyLight gauge steel framing is increasingly used, mainly for low-rise buildings. However, for mid-rise buildings, their lateral strength is rather low; therefore, seismic effects can be highly demanding. Steel bracing has ... -
Cross-sectional optimization of perforated pallet rack columns against distortional and global buckling
(2023-11)
Article
Restricted access - confidentiality agreementThis paper presents a cross-sectional optimization procedure to increase the load carrying capacity of a perforated rack column under a compression load. The optimization method is based on a Genetic Algorithm (GA) combined ... -
Customary light-gauge steel framing construction with flat strap bracing. Seismicity limits for short to mid-rise buildings in Europe
(Springer, 2023-11-20)
Article
Open AccessOrdinary (customary) light gauge steel framing is a convenient construction technology; however, given the studs low axial capacity, it has been considered mainly for low-rise buildings in low seismicity regions. This paper ... -

Determination of beam-to-column connection characteristics in pallet rack structures: a comparison of the EN and ANSI methods and an analysis of the influence of the moment-to-shear ratios
(2013-05-14)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyhe beam-to-column connections in most of the pallet rack structures made of thin-walled steel sections are of the clip-on type. These connections are of a semi-rigid nature and have a non-linear moment–rotation relationship, ... -
Distortional buckling strength of American type cold formed rack columns
(2013-05-24)
Research report
Restricted access - confidentiality agreementThe present report describes the experimental tests carried out at LERMA to investigate the distortional buckling of steel storage channel rack columns. Previous studies by the authors (Peköz et al. 2012, Casafont et al. ... -
Distortional influence of pallet rack uprights subject to combined compression and bending
(Elsevier, 2016-05-24)
Article
Open AccessA pallet rack is a structure in which the beams and uprights are cold-formed steel sections. The beam-upright connections are normally clipped in order to select the beam levels required and for ease of assembly. For this ... -
Dynamic analysis with point-masses of perforated pallet rack structural members by means of the Generalized Beam Theory
(2024-06)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents two different formulations for introducing point-masses into a dynamic problem using the Generalized Beam Theory (GBT) method. The first one implies placing a point-mass at a beam-node (with or without ... -
