DESIGN CRITERIA F. Mazzolani University of Naples "Federico II"

DESIGN CRITERIA FOR ALUMINIUM ALLOY STRUCTURES Federico M. Mazzolani (Chairman of TC 250250-SC9)

DESIGN CRITERIA FOR ALUMINIUM STRUCTURES IN CIVIL ENGINEERING ‹ How can aluminium and its alloy satisfy

the requirements of civil engineering structures? ‹ In which applications can they compete

with other structural materials, like steel?

Department of Structural Analysis and Design Faculty of Engineering University of Naples “Federico II” II”

FIRST APPLICATIONS

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Birth of aluminium : „ „ „ „

„

1807 – isolation of AL element (Sir Humphry Davy – U.K.) 1827 – first aluminium nugget (Whoeler – Germany) 1854 – first electrolytic reduction (Henry Sainte Claire – France) 1886 – industrial electrolytic process (Paul Luis Touissant Héroult – France and Charles Martin Hall – USA)

Dirigible structures (details)

„

Eagles of the Napoleon III’ III’s insigna (1851(1851-1870)

„

Dirigible structures: Schwartz (1897) Zeppeling (1900)

„

„ Cladding

„ Windows

The Empire State Building in New York was the first building using anodised aluminium for windows

Aluminium sheets installed more than a century ago for cladding the dome of the San Gioacchino church in Rome

„ Decoration

The Atomium was built for the Universal Exhibition of Brussels in 1958, nevertheless aged over the years. The Atomium is a structure that is half way between sculpture and architecture, symbolising a crystal molecule of steel by the scale of its atoms, magnified 165 billion times. The aluminium cladding - initially conceived to last six months – has served its purpose for almost 50 years and is ready for a new life. Now the Atomium is undergoing renovation: the original aluminium skin will serve for new purposes. A thousand aluminium triangular panels are available for sale with a certificate of authenticity for collectors and Atomium fans. The remaining 30 tonnes of aluminium will be recycled.

FIELDS OF APPLICATION IN CIVIL ENGINEERING Long span roof systems (reticular (reticular schemes of plane and space structures) structures) , where live load is small compared to dead load Structures located in corrosive or humid environments (swimming pool roofs,river bridges,hydraulic plants,offplants,off-shore superstructures) superstructures) Structures with moving parts,so that the lightness means economy during service (moving (moving bridges on rivers or channels,rotating crane bridges on circular pools in sewage plants) plants) Special purpose structures for which maintenance operations are particularly difficult (masts,lighting (masts,lighting towers,motorway sign portals) portals) Structures situated in inaccessible places far from the fabrication shop,so the transport economy and ease erection are extremelly important (electrical (electrical transmission towers,stair cases,provisional bridges) bridges)

Competition between steel and aluminium

Reference from literature

Charles Dickens (1812(1812-1870) wrote : “Within the course of the last two years … a treasure has been divined, unearthed and brought to light ... what do you think of a metal as white as silver, as unalterable as gold, as easily melted as copper, as tough as iron, which is malleable, ductile, and with the singular quality of being lighter that glass? Such a metal does exist and that in considerable quantities on the surface of the globe. The advantages to be derived from a metal endowed with such qualities are easy to be understood. Its future place as a raw material in all sorts of industrial applications is undoubted, and we may expect soon to see it, in some shape or other, in the hands of the civilised world at large”.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION

Reference from literature

Jules Verne (1844(1844-1896),the father of modern science fiction, wrote “From Earth to the Moon” Moon”: “This valuable metal possesses the whiteness of silver, the indestructibility of gold, the tenacity of iron, the fusibility of copper, the lightness of glass. It is easily wrought, is very widely distributed, forming the base of most of the rocks, is three times lighter than iron, and seems to have been created for the express purpose of furnishing us with the material for our projectile”.

Basis criteria for the structural restoration design

Results of the numerical analysis „ „

„

„

The structural scheme gives a good performance under uniformelly distributed vertical loads only Due to the “mechanism” mechanism” feature of the structural scheme , it is too flexible under non symmetrical loading conditions The lack of bracing systems makes it unable to resist horizontal actions (wind , earthquake) earthquake) without large deflections The design live load (240 kg/mq) is too low even for pedestrian use

Conservation of the original shape : consolidation of piers ; keep the same shape of chains (two groups per sides) sides) ; keep the same spanning among the vertical ties , corresponding to the mash of the rails ; keep the same structural scheme of the deck.

„

„

Increase the flexural stiffness both vertical and horizontal: horizontal:

main longitudinal Vierendeel beams , whose mash corresponds to the vertical ties ; rigid transversal beams ; horizontal cross bracings with a mash of 5.83x(3x1,37) m. „

Use of modern technologies and materials :

high strength steel for cables ; use of aluminium alloys instead of steel for deck.

m

If β for the most slender part of the cross section is β < β3 and β > β2 where β2 is roughly 4,5 (16), then the cross section belong to class 3, non slender section. Then buckling will occur for a stress equal to or somewhat larger than fo and some part of the cross section closer to the neutral axis (webs) may be larger than according to the theory of elasticity (linear stress distribution).

Local buckling behaviour / cross section class 4 Except for massive sections and very stocky sections local buckling will occure in compressed parts at failure. However, the behaviour is different depending on the slenderness β = b/t where b is the width and t is the thickness of the cross section part. If β > β3 where β3 is roughly 6 for an outstand part and 22 for an internal part, then local buckling will occure before the compressive stress reach the 0,2 % proof stress fo. Such a section part is called slender and the cross section is referred to as Class 4 cross section.

BACKGROUND

SLENDERNESS OF UNREINFORCED FLAT ELEMENTS In the case of plane stiffened elements, more complex formulations are provided in order to take into account three possible buckling modes: a) mode 1: the stiffened element buckles as a unit, so that the stiffener buckles with the same curvature as the element; b) mode 2: the sub-elements and the stiffener buckle as individual elements with the junction between them remaining straight; c) mode 3: this is a combination of modes 1 and 2, in which both sub-elements and whole element buckle.

LOCAL AND DISTORTIONAL BUCKLING

LOCAL AND DISTORTIONAL BUCKLING

GENERAL

GENERAL The most suitable expression for evaluating the local buckling coefficient ρ which reduces the thickness (or, equivalently, the strength) of an aluminium compressed plate, is given by following relationship:

The effect of local buckling on each compression element of the cross-section shall be conventionally accounted by replacing the nonuniform distribution of stress, occurring in the post-buckling range, with a uniform distribution of the maximum stress (σmax) acting on a reduced portion of the element, having the same width (b) but a reduced thickness (effective thickness, teff).

ρ = 1.0 if

ω ρ= 1 λp

⎛ ω2 ⎜1 − ⎜ λp ⎝

λ p ≤ λlim ⎞ ⎟ if λ p ≤ λlim ⎟ ⎠
