Problems and features of light gauge steel framing (LGSF) design based on the experience in engineering and construction of automated high-bay warehouses
This article is concerned with the analysis of engineering and structural problems and features occurring in the design of LGSF for automated High-Bay warehouse. The article describes the basic advantages of LGSF providing for the growth indemand for this framing. Functional and structural features of automated High-Bay warehouses are discussed. Structural, engineering and other problems associated with the design of these buildings are analyzed. There are given recommendations on design and engineering of frameworks of this type. Problems are put, the solution of which should contribute to increasing the strength and reliability, and wide spreading of LGSF-based buildings.
