<strong>Seismic</strong> behaviour <strong>of</strong> steel storage pallet racking systems . 32Unbraced and symmetrically braced racks without horizontal bracings shall beregarded as non-regular in plan.Specific modelling requirements for the analysis1) The modelling and analysis rules must be according to FEM 10.2.02.2) For beam-to-column connections the stiffness obtained from tests according toFEM 10.2.02 for static load must be used. The pallet beam must be checkedunder pallet load with pinned ends and load factor γ L = 1.03) The shear stiffness <strong>of</strong> the upright frame must be evaluated according to FEM10.2.02.4) When tension diagonals are provided, the bracing elements must be modelled inorder to take into account the proper stiffness <strong>of</strong> the bracing considering theeffect <strong>of</strong> the active component.5) Bracingsa) the vertical bracings must be properly modelled with their eccentricity tothe rack elements; also the elements connecting the vertical bracings to therack must be modelledb) the horizontal bracings must be properly modelled when present, with theirproper stiffness, using the same criteria described in the previous clause.
