Structural Aluminium
Structural aluminium used in construction is low density aluminium, resulting in a high strength-to-weight ratio. In building and civil engineering, density is sometimes the determining factor in the choice of aluminium; e.g. movable bridges, helicopter decks on offshore platforms, etc. The reasons why aluminium is a popular choice are, to achieve lightweight structures, to aim at sustainable structures…

Structural aluminium used in construction is low density aluminium, resulting in a high strength-to-weight ratio. In building and civil engineering, density is sometimes the determining factor in the choice of aluminium; e.g. movable bridges, helicopter decks on offshore platforms, etc. The reasons why aluminium is a popular choice are, to achieve lightweight structures, to aim at sustainable structures requiring less maintenance, it has good recycling opportunities and the required knowledge of aluminium structural behaviour is at a similar level to steel.
