Sažetak
The interest in the use of aluminium as a structural material has increased greatly in recent years. However, behaviour of aluminium structures exposed to fire is still relatively unexplored. Aluminium structures have low fire resistance because of the low melting temperature of the alloy, but aluminium is reflective and has a more than a twice lower surface emissivity compared with carbon steel. The Eurocode that faced this issue (EN 1999-1-2) is mainly based on the Eurocode for structural fire design of steel structures (EN 1993-1-2) and thus it is not fully suitable for the application on aluminium structures. Through the comparison with steel structures, an overview of the structural behaviour of aluminium structures exposed to fire is given. As a conclusion, priorities for a future research are highlighted. This should be a base for the next generation of modern codes for structural fire design of aluminium structures.
