The developments of the late 1990s in the structural analysis of
aluminium components are presented with particular reference to
work in Europe. This text brings together European experts who are
actively engaged in the formulation of design rules and in the
writing of codes of practice. The text is written against a
background of the British Standard on the structural use of
aluminium, BSB8118; the development of an equivalent Eurocode; and
the noticeable increase in research on the performance of aluminium
structural components leading to useful advances in analysis and
design philosophies. The book opens with a chapter on loading,
safety and design principles and includes a discussion of fatigue
and fracture. This is followed by a series of chapters on
particular components such as beams, beam columns and plate girders
which highlight advances in research. The problem of welded
aluminium joints is discussed in depth, as are the design rules for
bolted joints. Each chapter gives the background to design rules
giving designers the confidence to follow progressive ideas and to
support these by accurate and perceptive structural analysis.
