Apollo 1.5m X-Beam to Eurocode

Brief
R0142
By : eas
Date:Nov-12
001
Checked :anw Date:Nov-12
The brief is to prepare calculated values for the capacity of the Apollo
1.5m X-Beam to BS EN 1999-1-1.
The beams are manufactured from tube extrusions in aluminium alloy
6082 T6.
Alloy
The alloy used is 6082 T6:

255 N/mm2
295 N/mm2
f o=
f u=
Layout
All beam lengths define the overall length of beam and not the span. As the
beam is supported at the verticals, all spans are 1m less than the beam length.
The geometry of the beam is shown in the drawing below:
Design
Eurocode 9: Design of Aluminium structures
Alloy used is 6082 T6 throughout
EN 1999-1-1
STRAP Model
The structure was analysed in STRAP structural analysis program.

1. Above allowable loads may be increased by 1.11 for wind loading only
2. This table is provided as a guide only and assume all loads are applied at nodes. All scaffolds and structures should
be checked by a qualified structural engineer. Loads indicated in italics and shaded are limited by shear.
3. Maximum capacity of a point load mid way between nodes is 35kN but overall buckling of the top chord should be
checked if loads are placed other than at restrained loads. Compression chord restraint required at 1m c/c
