Abstract


Aluminium is an interesting structural material because its lightness and minimum maintenance needs, together with and important strength. The lack of knowledge of design rules with this material owing to the shortage of design guides, together with its higher cost, are factors that leed to the very scarce use of aluminium in the construction of structures. In present article it is dealt with a brief look to the tipology and properties of the structural aluminium alloys, and it is described the content of Eurocode 9 "Design of aluminium structures", approved by CEN (European Committee for Standardization) in may 1998 that it is foreseen to be published in Spanish by AENOR in short time.
