Concrete slabs form the backbone of countless industrial and material-handling facilities. Whether supporting heavy machinery, mezzanines, pallet racks, or conveyors, a slab must be able to bear ...

Traditional damage analysis of steel truss structures requires detailed finite element meshing, and there is a coupling between stress-strain and damage solving, resulting in complex damage analysis ...

To explore a new type of steel–concrete composite beam, which can save the material to reduce the self-weight of the members, and also facilitate the arrangement of the pipeline. In this paper, a ...

Racking (Edge-Racking) Load Capacity The racking load capacity (also called edge-racking capacity) is the greatest load a pallet can carry when supported only by its outer perimeter (e.g., in ...
