Today, column stacks in the warehouse usually consists of unit loads and are regarded generally as being sufficiently stable. But the stability of such stacks may vary according to the compression resistance of an individual unit or by the toppling stability of the complete column. To evaluate the stability of a given column, or to calculate the critical stack dimensions, different methods are described and compared on the basis of the elastic modulus in compression, the inclination angle of an individual unit under a central test load, or the natural frequency of a freely oscillating complete stack after a previous lateral deviation. This results in a variety of useful procedures to give an approximate estimate of the toppling stability of stacked unit loads and packages.
