Abstract: Although the seismic response reduction effect with load sliding (slide effect) is not considered in general structural design, consideration of this effect may contribute to a more rational design. In the present study, seismic response analyses were performed on an analytical model while varying certain parameters to obtain the basic characteristics of the slide effect on a warehouse. Based on the analytical results, the design load used both for the structural design and for calculating the seismic forces acting on a warehouse was estimated
