Eurocode 9 Design of aluminium structures 12 This series of Designers'' Guides to the Eurocodes provides comprehensive guidance in the form of design aids, indications for the most convenient design procedures and worked examples. The books also include background information to aid the designer in understanding the reasoning behind and the objectives of the codes. All of the individual guides work in conjunction with the Designers'' Guide to Eurocode: Basis of Structural Design. EN 1990. Aluminium is not as widely used for structural applications as it could be, partly as a result of misconceptions about material strength and durability but largely because engineers and designers have not been taught how to use it - additional specific design checks are needed. A material with unique properties that need to be exploited and worked with, aluminium has many benefits and, when used correctly, the results are light, durable, cost effective structures. EN 1999, Eurocode 9: Design of aluminium structures, details the requirements for resistance, serviceability, durability and fire resistance in the design of buildings and other civil engineering and structural works in aluminium. This guide provides the user with guidance on the interpretation and use of Part 1-1: General structural rules and Part 1-4: Cold-formed structural sheeting of EN 1999, covering material selection and all main structural elements and joints.
