piece are given in Table 3.3. The listed values are 70% of the values of EN 1706, which are only valid for
separately casted test specimens (see 6.3.3 (2) EN 1706).
NOTE The listed values for A50 in Table 3.3 are 50 % of the elongation values of EN 1706, which are
only valid for separately casted test specimens (see 6.3.3. (3) EN 1706)

1) Deviating from the minimum elongation values listed here, applying the special design rules defined in
C.3.4 (Annex C) the caster has to prove a minimum A value (= A5,65 A ) of 2 % (not A50) at each
0
location of a cast piece.
3.2.4

Dimensions, mass and tolerances

(1) The dimensions and tolerances of structural extruded products, sheet and plate products, drawn tube, wire
and forgings, shall conform with the ENs and prENs listed in 1.2.3.3.
(2) The dimensions and tolerances of structural cast products shall conform with the ENs and prENs listed in
1.2.3.4.
3.2.5

Design values of material constants

(1) The material constants to be adopted in calculations for the aluminium alloys covered by this European
standard shall be taken as follows:
- modulus of elasticity
- shear modulus
- Poisson's ratio
- coefficient of linear thermal expansion
- unit mass

E = 70 000 N/mm2;
G = 27 000 N/mm2;
= 0,3;
= 23 10-6 per oC;
= 2 700 kg/m3.

(2) For material properties in structures subject to elevated temperatures associated with fire see
EN 1999-1-2.
