Structural Rack Systems Research Group

Industrial Steel Storage Rack Systems (ISSR) are among the most frequently collapsing non-building civil engineering structures. As critical elements of the logistics supply chain, the collapse of ISSRs results in severe negative consequences, including loss of life and property. This structural engineering problem has drawn the attention of various research groups worldwide. Given their unique system configuration, loads, and structural behavior under loads, these structures can be considered a special category of thin-walled steel structures. Consequently, research topics related to thin-walled steel structures are generally applicable to storage rack structures as well.

The Structural Rack Systems Research Group conducts scientific research focused on the effective structural analysis and design of these structures within the described scope. Our group's website keeps you informed about the developments in studies conducted both nationally and internationally.
