European foreword

This document (prEN 1999-1-4:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC250

“Structural Eurocodes”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. CEN/TC 250 is responsible for all

Structural Eurocodes and has been assigned responsibility for structural and geotechnical design matters

by CEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1999-1-4:2007.

The first generation of EN Eurocodes was published between 2002 and 2007. This document forms part

of the second generation of the Eurocodes, which have been prepared under Mandate M/515 issued to

CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.

The Eurocodes have been drafted to be used in conjunction with relevant execution, material, product

and test standards, and to identify requirements for execution, materials, products and testing that are

relied upon by the Eurocodes.

The Eurocodes recognize the responsibility of each member State and have safeguarded their right to

determine values related to regulatory safety matters at national level through the use of National

Annexes.

Introduction
0.1 Introduction to the Eurocodes

The Structural Eurocodes comprise the following standards generally consisting of a number of Parts:

— EN 1990 Eurocode: Basis of structural and geotechnical design
— EN 1991 Eurocode 1: Actions on structures
— EN 1992 Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures
— EN 1993 Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures
— EN 1994 Eurocode 4: Design of composite steel and concrete structures
— EN 1995 Eurocode 5: Design of timber structures
— EN 1996 Eurocode 6: Design of masonry structures
— EN 1997 Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design
— EN 1998 Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance
— EN 1999 Eurocode 9: Design of aluminium structures
— < New parts >

The Eurocodes are intended for use by designers, clients, manufacturers, constructors, relevant

authorities (in exercising their duties in accordance with national or international regulations),

educators, software developers, and committees drafting standards for related product, testing and

execution standards.

NOTE Some aspects of design are most appropriately specified by relevant authorities or, where not specified,

can be agreed on a project-specific basis between relevant parties such as designers and clients. The Eurocodes

identify such aspects making explicit reference to relevant authorities and relevant parties.

0.2 Introduction to EN 1999 Eurocode 9

EN 1999 applies to the design of buildings and civil engineering and structural works made of aluminium.

It complies with the principles and requirements for the safety and serviceability of structures, the basis

of their design and verification that are given in EN 1990 – Basis of structural design.

EN 1999 is only concerned with requirements for resistance, serviceability, durability and fire resistance

of aluminium structures. Other requirements, e.g. concerning thermal or sound insulation, are not

considered.

EN 1999 does not cover the special requirements of seismic design. Provisions related to such

requirements are given in EN 1998, which complements, and is consistent with EN 1999.

EN 1999 is subdivided in five parts:
— EN 1999-1-1 Design of Aluminium Structures: General structural rules.
— EN 1999-1-2 Design of Aluminium Structures: Structural fire design.
— EN 1999-1-3 Design of Aluminium Structures: Structures susceptible to fatigue.

— EN 1999-1-4 Design of Aluminium Structures: Cold-formed structural sheeting.
— EN 1999-1-5 Design of Aluminium Structures: Shell structures.
0.3 Introduction to EN 1999-1-4

This document gives design requirements for cold-formed trapezoidal aluminium sheeting. It applies to

cold-formed aluminium products made from hot rolled or cold rolled sheet or strip that have been cold-

formed by such processes as cold-rolled forming or press-breaking.
0.4 Verbal forms used in the Eurocodes

The verb “shall” expresses a requirement strictly to be followed and from which no deviation is permitted

in order to comply with the Eurocodes.

The verb “should” express a highly recommended choice or course of action. Subject to national

regulation and/or any relevant contractual provisions, alternative approaches could be used/adopted

where technically justified.

The verb “may” expresses a course of action permissible within the limits of the Eurocodes.

The verb “can” expresses possibility and capability; it is used for statements of fact and clarification of

concepts.
0.5 National annex for prEN 1999-1-4

National choice is allowed in this document where explicitly stated within notes. National choice includes

the selection of values for Nationally Determined Parameters (NDPs).

The national standard implementing EN 1999-1-4 can have a National Annex containing all national

choices to be used for the design of buildings and civil engineering works to be constructed in the relevant

country.

When no national choice is given, the default choice given in this document is to be used.

When no national choice is made and no default is given in this document, the choice can be specified by

a relevant authority or, where not specified, agreed for a specific project by appropriate parties.

National choice is allowed in EN 1999-1-4 through the following clauses:
4(4) NOTE 1
5.1(3) NOTE
9.3(3) NOTE
A.4.4(3)

National choice is allowed in EN 1999-1-4 on the application of the following informative annexes:

Annex B (Informative) Durability of fasteners

The National Annex can contain, directly or by reference, non-contradictory complementary information

for ease of implementation, provided it does not alter any provisions of the Eurocodes.
