Extract

This paper is a study of the questions: (1) Are the simplified equations and design procedure in Limit Design that have been developed for application to structural steel construction, applicable without modification to light metal structures? (2) How do the properties of these metals which are different from those of steel affect the application of the theory? Do they offer any advantages? Any disadvantages? (3) What changes in traditional design procedure are warranted? What changes are imperative?

No claim is made to a complete solution of the design problem, since each particular structure involves a thousand and one details. Only the broad fundamental philosophy is discussed here. The discussion and conclusions are supplemented with a report of a number of experiments on a few extrusions of some of the more important alloys of magnesium and of aluminium.
