Numerical Study of Aluminium Alloy Square Hollow Section Columns
Aluminium alloys are increasingly applied in the construction industry owing to their advantageous properties. This paper presents a numerical investigation on aluminium alloy square hollow section columns with pin-ended boundary conditions. The modelling assumptions are detailed and a parametric study is carried out. The investigation examines four structural aluminium alloys, namely 6082-T6, 6061-T6, 6082-T4 and 6063-T5. Aiming to cover a wide range of member slenderness, six member lengths are examined, while two cross-sections, one fully effective and one slender, are studied. The results are used to assess Eurocode buckling strengths. It is shown that Eurocode provides conservative estimations, particularly for Class B aluminium alloys. Moreover, the buckling strength predictions appear less accurate for slender cross-sections compared to fully effective ones.
