Design of aluminium structures Eurocode 7 Part 3 - DDENV 1997-3-1999 This series of Designers'' Guides to the Eurocodes provides comprehensive guidance in the form of design aids, indications for the most convenient design procedures and worked examples. The books also include background information to aid the designer in understanding the reasoning behind and the objectives of the codes. All of the individual guides work in conjunction with the Designers'' Guide to Eurocode: Basis of Structural Design. EN 1990. Aluminium is not as widely used for structural applications as it could be, partly as a result of misconceptions about material strength and durability but largely because engineers and designers have not been taught how to use it - additional specific design checks are needed. A material with unique properties that need to be exploited and worked with, aluminium has many benefits and, when used correctly, the results are light, durable, cost effective structures. EN 1999, Eurocode 9: Design of aluminium structures, details the requirements for resistance, serviceability, durability and fire resistance in the design of buildings and other civil engineering and structural works in aluminium. This guide provides the user with guidance on the interpretation and use of Part 1-1: General structural rules and Part 1-4: Cold-formed structural sheeting of EN 1999, covering material selection and all main structural elements and joints.

National foreword
This Draft for Development is the official English language version ofENV 1997-3:1999
This publication is not to be regarded as a British Standard.
It is being issued in the Draft for Development series of publications and is of aprovisional nature It should be applied on this provisional basis so that informationand experience of its practical application may be obtained This document doesnot have a parallel British Standard and, therefore, it has been published for use inthe United Kingdom (UK) without any National Application Document
ENV 1997-3:1999 results from a programme of work sponsored by the EuropeanCommission to make available a common set of rules for the structural andgeotechnical design of buildings and civil engineering works The full range of codescovers the basis of design and actions, the design of structures in concrete, steel,composite construction, timber, masonry and aluminium alloy, and geotechnical andseismic design
Comments arising from the use of this Draft for Development are requested so thatthe UK experience can be reported to the European organization responsible for itsconversion into a European Standard A review of this publication will be initiated
2 years after its publication by the European organization so that a decision can betaken on its status at the end of its three-year life The commencement of the review
period will be notified by an announcement in Update Standards.
According to the replies received by the end of the review period, the responsibleBSI Committee will decide whether to support the conversion into a EuropeanStandard, to extend the life of the prestandard or to withdraw it Comments should
be sent in writing to the Secretary of BSI Subcommittee B/526/3, Soil tests, at
389 Chiswick High Road, London W4 4AL, giving the document reference andclause number and proposing, where possible, an appropriate revision of the text
A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on request
to its secretary
