Steel static storage systems - Adjustable pallet racking systems - Principles for seismic design; German version EN 16681:2016
Ortsfeste Regalsysteme aus Stahl - Verstellbare Palettenregale - Leitsätze für die erdbebensichere Bemessung; Deutsche Fassung EN 16681:2016
Overview
The European Standard specifies the structural design requirements applicable to all types of adjustable pallet racking systems fabricated from steel members, intended for storage of unit loads and subject to seismic actions. The standard gives also guidelines for the design of clad rack buildings in seismic zones, where requirements are not covered in the EN 1998 series (Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance). The responsible committee for this standard is NA 020-00-17 AA "Statische Regale aus Stahl" ("Steel static storage systems") at DIN.
