Versagen eines Regallagers in Athen
 
Abstract:     
 
Palettenregalsysteme weisen besondere Merkmale gegenüber üblichen Hochbauten auf, so dass sie ganz empfindlich auf Stabilitätsversagen reagieren. Hier wird ein Versagensfall vorgestellt, bei dem ein Regallager durch Biegedrillknicken seiner meistbelasteten Stützen versagt hat. Das Tragwerksverhalten wird mit Hilfe einer Kombination von experimentellen und rechnerischen Untersuchungen analysiert. Es werden Probebelastungen, Biegeversuche an Trägern, Druckversuche an kurzen Stützen und Versuche an Träger-Stützen-Verbindungen durchgeführt. Anschließend wird eine globale geometrisch nichtlineare Berechnung durchgeführt, deren Ergebnisse weitgehend mit den Bildern des Versagens übereinstimmen. Es werden Lehren gezogen, die auf statische und dynamische Berechnungen und deren Prüfung auf verbindlicher Basis hinausgehen.

Failure of a steel pallet rack in Athens.
Pallet racking systems have peculiar characteristics which differ from usual steel structures that make them sensitive to stability failure modes. In the present paper a rack failure is presented where the rack has failed due to lateral torsional and distortional buckling of its most stressed uprights. The structural behavior was studied by a combination of experimental and numerical/analytical methods. The investigations included test loading, bending tests on pallet beams, compression tests on stub column and bending tests on beam end connectors. Subsequently, a global geometrical non-linear analysis is performed on the 3-D system. Its results indicate by comparison with the pictures of the actual structure that the collapse mode is correctly detected. Conclusions are drawn that recommend the performance of static and dynamic analyses on an obligatory basis.
