Aluminium, a Material with a Solution for any Structural Application

Abstract:

In the past five years a number of master’s theses have been conducted at Belgian Technical Colleges and Universities to (re)introduce knowledge of aluminium as a structural material, given that courses offered in Belgium are oriented towards steel and concrete design and no specific course on aluminium exists. The present contribution highlights the different subjects covered in these theses and illustrates the results obtained. Emphasis is placed on the methodology used to design and innovate with aluminium, taking into account the Eurocode rules that apply to the design of specific aluminium structures. For this, appropriate use was made of existing software that allows for the detailed calculation of section reduction and unity checks.
