Eurocode 9 Welds (EN 1999-1-1:2007+A1:2009)

Static design checks for aluminium welded joints

Design and verify aluminium welds (fillet and butt) per Eurocode 9 Part 1-1. SDC Verifier reads FE stresses, applies EC9 rules, and reports weld utilization with HAZ reductions and partial factors.

About Standard

The Eurocode 9 Welds (EN 1999-1-1:2007+A1:2009) implementation in SDC Verifier allows verification of welded joints in aluminum structures. The standard addresses the specific material behavior of aluminum, ensuring weld strength is correctly evaluated under applied loads. 

Scope of Application: 

  • Aluminum welded members and connections 
  • Butt, fillet, and longitudinal weld checks 
  • Verification under axial, shear, and combined loading 

Key Features: 

  • Automatic application of Eurocode 9 weld formulas without manual input 
  • Integration with SDC Verifier’s weld recognition tools 
  • Generation of weld utilization factors and stress ratio plots 
  • Combined evaluation with Eurocode 9 member checks 

Highlights for Engineers: 

  • Eliminates manual Eurocode 9 weld checks for aluminum designs 
  • Fully automated workflow for large welded models 
  • Supports transparent documentation of weld verification in reports
