Abstract
Past Italian earthquakes revealed the high seismic vulnerability of steel pallet racks designed for gravity loads only, which are still the most widespread industrial storage system. This study aims to derive the seismic fragility of these structures to enable more refined estimates of enterprise risk and the definition of effective retrofit solutions. For this purpose, 3D non-linear models of 27 unbraced pallet racks, representative of the Italian context, were analysed in Time-History under 268 bidirectional events, representative of Italian seismicity. Multiple fragility models were then derived, based on various engineering demand parameters and seismic intensity measures, through a cloud approach.
期刊介绍:
Structural Safety is an international journal devoted to integrated risk assessment for a wide range of constructed facilities such as buildings, bridges, earth structures, offshore facilities, dams, lifelines and nuclear structural systems. Its purpose is to foster communication about risk and reliability among technical disciplines involved in design and construction, and to enhance the use of risk management in the constructed environment
