BAS EN 1999-1-3:2018

(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: ¾ Safe life design; ¾ damage tolerant design; ¾ 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. (5) The following subjects are dealt with in EN 1999-1-3: Section 1: General Section 2: Basis of design Section 3: Materials, constituent products and connecting devices Section 4: Durability Section 5: Structural analysis Section 6: Ultimate limit state of fatigue Annex A: Basis for calculation of fatigue resistance [normative] Annex B: Guidance on assessment by fracture mechanics [informative] Annex C: Testing for fatigue design [informative] Annex D: Stress analysis [informative] Annex E: Adhesively bonded joints [informative] Annex F: Low cycle fatigue range [informative] Annex G: Influence of R-ratio [informative] Annex H: Fatigue strength improvement of welds [informative] Annex I: Castings [informative] Annex J: Detail category tables [informative] Annex K: Hot spot reference detail method [informative] Annex L: Guidance on use of design methods,selection of partial factors, limits for damage values, inspection intervals and execution parameters when Annex J is adopted Bibliography
