National codes for structural aluminium alloys (Topic: 12025)

The code checks of aluminium alloy structures must be done according to the different national codes and regulations.

ECCS has performed an incomplete recommendation for aluminium alloy structures called: "European recommendations for aluminium alloy structures." This recommendation is using the limit state method.

France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and UK have more and less their own codes for structural aluminium.

France DTU No 32.2.

An European code for the design of aluminium alloy structures will be under development, but it is uncertain when it will be ready for publication.
