Steel static storage systems - Adjustable pallet racking systems - Principles for structural design

This European Standard specifies the structural design requirements applicable to all types of adjustable beam pallet rack systems fabricated from steel members intended for the storage of unit loads and subject to predominantly static loads. Both un-braced and braced systems are included.
This European Standard gives guidelines for the design of clad rack buildings where requirements are not covered in EN 1993. The requirements of this European Standard also apply to ancillary structures, where rack components are employed as the main structural members.
This European Standard does not cover other generic types of storage structures. Specifically, this European Standard does not apply to mobile storage systems, drive-in, drive-through and cantilever racks or static steel shelving systems, nor does this European Standard establish specific design rules for the assessment of racking in seismic areas.

Ortsfeste Regalsysteme aus Stahl - Verstellbare Palettenregale - Grundlagen der statischen Bemessung

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an die statische Bemessung für sämtliche Arten von Palettenregalen mit verstellbaren Trägern fest, welche aus Stahlelementen hergestellt und zur Lagerung von Ladeeinheiten vorgesehen und vorwiegend statischen Lasten ausgesetzt sind. Sowohl Systeme mit als auch ohne Aussteifungsverbände sind berücksichtigt.
Diese Europäische Norm dient auch als Leitlinie zur statischen Bemessung von Gebäuden aus verkleideten Regalen, im Falle, dass deren Anforderungen nicht von EN 1993 abgedeckt sind. Die Anforderungen dieser Europäischen Norm gelten auch für Zusatzeinrichtungen, bei denen Regalbauteile als wichtiges Hauptbauteil eingesetzt sind.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für andere Arten von Lagereinrichtungen, namentlich nicht für Ver-schieberegalsysteme, Einfahr- und Durchfahrregale, Kragarmregale und Fachbodenregale aus Stahl. Diese Europäische Norm stellt ferner keine bestimmten Bemessungsregeln zur Bewertung von Regalen in Erdbebengebiete auf.

Introduction 0.1 Racking Racking systems are load bearing structures for the storage and retrieval of goods in warehouses. The goods to be stored are generally on pallets or in box-containers. Racking is constructed from steel components including upright frames, beams and decking. Special beam to column (upright) connections and bracing systems are utilised, in order to achieve a three dimensional steel ‘sway’ or ‘braced’ structure with “aisles” to enable order pickers, industrial trucks or stacker cranes to reach the storage positions. Although components are standardised they are only standard to each manufacturer. These components differ from traditional column and beam structures in the following regard. 1) Continuous perforated uprights. 2) Hook-in connections. 3) Structural components for racking generally consist of cold formed thin gauge members. 0.2 Requirement for EN Standards for racking and shelving in addition to the Eurocodes
Because of the differences in shape of structural components, detailing and connection type's additional technical information to the Eurocodes are required, in order to have reliable state of the art guidance for the practicing designer involved in designing racking. The scope of CEN/TC 344 is to establish European Standards providing guidance for the specification, design, methods of installation, accuracy of build and guidance for the user on the safe use of steel static storage systems. This, together with the need for harmonised design rules was the reason that the European Racking Federation ERF / FEM Racking and Shelving has taken the initiative for CEN/TC 344. CEN/TC 344 is in the course of preparation of a number of European Standards for specific types of racking and shelving and particular applications which exist as European Standards (EN) and working group activities (WG) as follows: EN 15512: Steel static storage systems - Adjustable pallet racking systems - Principles for structural design. EN 15620: Steel static storage systems - Adjustable pallet racking - Tolerances, deformations and clearances. EN 15629: Steel static storage systems - The specification of storage equipment. EN 15635: Steel static storage systems - The application and maintenance of storage equipment WG 3c: Terms and Definitions. WG 4:Technical Principles for the Design of Adjustable Drive-in and Drive-through Racking Systems. WG 5a:Technical principles for the Design of Pallet Racking Systems in Seismic Regions. WG 5b:Technical Principles for the Design of Drive-in and Drive-through Racking Systems in Seismic Regions. WG 6:Technical Principles for the Design of Shelving Systems. SIST EN 15512:2009

EN15512 may also be used for design cases not covered by the Eurocodes (other structures, other actions, other materials) serving as a reference document for other CEN TC´s concerning structural matters. EN 15512 is intended for use by committees drafting design related product, testing and execution standards, designers and structural engineers, relevant authorities. Numerical values for partial factors and other reliability parameters are basic values that provide an acceptable level of reliability assuming an appropriate level of workmanship and quality management. As part of the design process, reference to EN 15629 and EN 15635 shall be required to ensure that both specifier and designer are aware of the interface constraints in each other’s responsibility and to allow an effective design to be produced.

Specifically, this European Standard does not apply to mobile storage systems, drive-in, drive-through and cantilever racks or static steel shelving systems, nor does this European Standard establish specific design rules for the assessment of racking in seismic areas. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
