Eurocode 9: Design of Aluminium Structures - Part 1-5: Shell Structures
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1999-1-5 standard provides guidelines for the structural design of aluminium shell structures. This includes both stiffened and unstiffened shells, as well as structures that have the form of a shell of revolution or a round panel in monocoque structures. The standard covers additional provisions to those given in other relevant parts of the Eurocode for the design of aluminium structures.
The scope of EN 1999-1-5 includes axisymmetric shells such as cylinders, cones, and spheres, as well as associated circular or annular plates, beam section rings, and stringer stiffeners. It does not explicitly cover single shell panels, but the provisions may be applicable if the appropriate boundary conditions are considered. The standard also describes various types of shell walls, such as isotropic (constructed from flat rolled sheets), lap-jointed (with overlapping sections), externally stiffened, axially corrugated, and circumferentially corrugated.
EN 1999-1-5 is intended to be applied within the temperature range defined in EN 1999-1-1, with the maximum temperature limited to neglect the influence of creep. For structures subject to elevated temperatures associated with fire, additional considerations are provided in EN 1999-1-2. The standard does not cover the aspect of leakage.
The assumptions made in the standard include the general assumptions of EN 1990, as well as the provisions of EN 1999-1-1. The design procedures are valid only when the requirements for execution in EN 1090-3 or equivalent requirements are complied with. EN 1999-1-5 is intended to be used in conjunction with other European Standards for construction products relevant for aluminium structures, as well as EN 1090-1 and EN 1090-3, which provide requirements for conformity assessment and execution of steel structures and aluminium structures.
