Aluminium alloys as structural material: A review of research

Abstract Over the last few decades aluminium alloys have been increasingly used in construction sector due to their favourable properties. Thereafter, many research projects carried out with aim obtain a more comprehensive understanding of structural performance and develop accurate reliable design formulae. The scope this paper is provide review by discussing reported experimental, numerical analytical work on alloys. presents an overview studies mechanical properties under monotonic, cyclic thermal loading conditions. Moreover, considerable amount experimental investigations focussing columns, beams beam-columns reviewed. connections composite aluminium-concrete members also discussed. Comments suitability international specifications are included. Within review, knowledge gaps identified corresponding fill these recommended.
