About Standard

Eurocode Standards are a series of European norms (EN) specifying structural design requirements within the EU. Developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) at the request of the European Commission, they provide harmonized technical rules for safety and serviceability.

Eurocode 9 (EN 1999 or EC 9) defines the structural design of aluminum structures.

Covers requirements for members, connections, welded joints, and global stability.
Applies to buildings, bridges, offshore structures, and other aluminum applications.
Provides rules for resistance, serviceability, durability, and fire resistance of aluminum components.
Complies with the principles of EN 1990 – Basis of Structural Design.

Eurocode 9 is increasingly important as aluminum is used for lightweight, corrosion-resistant structures in civil engineering, offshore, transportation, and energy projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What parts of Eurocode 9 are covered today?

SDC Verifier currently includes Eurocode 9 Welds (EN 1999-1-1:2007+A1:2009) for static design of aluminium welds. Other EC9 parts can be addressed with generic SDC Verifier tools where applicable, but are not EC9-specific.

What structures are covered by Eurocode 9?

Eurocode 9 applies to aluminum structures in buildings, bridges, offshore platforms, and transport infrastructure. It includes rules for members, welds, and global stability.

Does SDC Verifier support Eurocode 9 weld checks?

Yes. Weld strength checks according to EN 1999-1-1 are implemented, with automatic weld recognition and utilization factors reported.

Can I combine Eurocode 9 with other standards?

Yes. Eurocode 9 can be combined with other standards in SDC Verifier (e.g., Eurocode 3 for steel components) within the same FEA project.

Do I need to configure weld categories manually?

No. SDC Verifier applies Eurocode 9 weld checks automatically. Manual configuration is possible if project-specific adjustments are needed.

Are reports Eurocode 9 compliant?
