[en] This article presents some basic aspects of a research about the evaluation of the effect of earthquakes on storage racking systems. In particular, it focuses on the possible sliding and friction of the stored good subjected to a horizontal inertial force. In the first part, a theoretical SDOF system is studied to derive general indications on the sliding behavior and to serve as a reference for the validation of a more advanced numerical model. The second part presents then an application of the numerical model to simple rack structures.
