Arjun Patel Racking System Installation Lead

Base shear is transmitted through engineered moment-resisting knee braces and localized heavy-duty baseplates. The kinetic energy is distributed directly into the foundational concrete slab, requiring a minimum slab thickness and PSI rating to prevent punching shear failure beneath the columns.
