Prefabricated aluminium halls

Abstract

Prefabricated aluminium halls are usually temporary structures with multiple uses. Their biggest advantage is low weight resulting in lower transport costs and allowing for quick assembly. Today, there is a growing demand for aluminium halls to become permanent structures, and therefore, in meeting the requirements of EN 199x norm series, it is necessary to optimize the calculation aspect of conventional structural systems with reinforced bolted joints. An overview of the most common structural systems, typical aluminium profiles and joints with steel reinforcements, as well as a common approach for design and assembly, is presented in the paper.
