EN 1999 - Aluminium structures

EUROCODE 9 „Design of aluminium structures” is subdivided into the following parts:

ÖNORM EN 1999-1-1 

General structural rules

ÖNORM EN 1999-1-2

Structural fire design

ÖNORM EN 1999-1-3

Structures susceptible to fatigue

ÖNORM EN 1999-1-4

Supplementary rules for cold-formed sheeting

ÖNORM EN 1999-1-5

Supplementary rules for shell structures

EN 1999 applies to the design of buildings and civil engineering and structural works in aluminium. It complies with the principles and requirements for the safety and serviceability of structures, the basis of their design and verification that are given in EN 1990 – Basis of structural design.

EN 1999 is only concerned with requirements for resistance, serviceability, durability and fire resistance of aluminium structures. Other requirements, e.g. concerning thermal or sound insulation, are not considered.

EN 1999 is intended to be used in conjunction with:

  • EN 1990 „Basis of structural design“
  • EN 1991 „Actions on structures“
  • EN´s, ETAGs and ETAs for construction products relevant for aluminium structures
  • prEN 1090-3 „Technical rules for the execution of aluminium structures“
  • EN 1992 to EN 1998 when aluminium structures or aluminium components are referred to.
