Eurocode 9: Design of aluminium structures - Part 1-3: Structures susceptible to fatigue EN 1999-1-3:2007/A1:2011

Publication date:   Jan 18, 2012

Scope

(1) EN 1999-1-3 gives the basis for the design of aluminium alloy structures with respect to the limit state of fracture induced by fatigue.

(2) EN 1999-1-3 gives rules for:
- Safe life design;
- damage tolerant design;
- design assisted by testing.
(3) EN 1999-1-3 is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1090-3 "Technical requirements for the execution of aluminium structures" which contains the requirements necessary for the design assumptions to be met during execution of components and structures.

(4) EN 1999-1-3 does not cover pressurised containment vessels or pipe-work.
