Aluminium Structural Elements Design: A Practical Guide to Eurocode 9

In 2010, Eurocodes are set to replace national codes such as British Standards as the structural design standard for public and private works. Eurocode 9 deals with the structural specification of aluminium design, taking into account factors such as fire design, fatigue, sheeting and shell structures.

Aluminium Structural Elements Design: A Practical Guide to Eurocode 9 provides a simplified guide to designing aluminium structural elements.

The book covers all 5 parts of Eurocode 9: Design of Aluminium Structures using examples to illustrate what each part means.

Written by a member of the BSI sub-committee involved in the development of Eurocode 9 and UK National Annex, this book is an essential guide for all civil and structural engineers requiring clarification on the switch from British Standards to Eurocodes.
