Abstract

Two push-over tests (one in down-aisle, the other in cross-aisle direction) were carried out, in order to evaluate the possibility to propose in a Standard Design Code for Racks in Seismic Areas, static push-over analyses (currently available in many commercially available software packages for structural analysis) as alternative to dynamic (linear or non-linear) analyses, as it seems to be the current trend in many codes for seismic design of building structures.
