In this study, a full-scale test of a drive-in system was carried out. Finite element models were also developed to evaluate global structural stability and component influence on system behavior. The experimental and numerical results show that the connections and base plates have the most significant influence on the system’s behavior. This influence is analyzed, an equation that predicts base plate resistance is then proposed, and its results are compared with experimental and numerical results.en-USSemi-rigid jointsThin-walled perforated membersFinite element analysisDrive-in racksBeam-to-column jointsArtigo publicado em periodicoO Periódico Thin-Walled Structures concede permissão para depósito do artigo no Repositório Institucional da UFOP.
