In earthquake-prone regions, racking safety is not optional — it is essential.
A common misconception is that seismic resistance simply means using thicker steel. In reality, seismic performance depends primarily on structural design.
Why Seismic Design Must Be Customized
Different regions require different seismic ratings (e.g., Zone 6, 7, 8).
Design must consider:
- Horizontal seismic forces
- Vertical acceleration
- Structural resonance
Our Engineering Approach
At Shitong Racking, our engineering team designs each system based on required seismic levels.
1. Material: Q355 Steel
- Higher strength
- Better fatigue resistance
2. Structural Reinforcement
We optimize structure through:
- Increased horizontal bracing
- Reinforced beam-to-upright connections
- Stronger bolt grades
- Improved upright profiles
3. Anchoring System
Anchoring is critical in seismic design:
- High-strength anchor bolts or chemical anchors
- Defined floor load requirements
Standard vs Seismic Racking
| Item | Standard Racking | Seismic Racking |
