N/mm²

Good anticorrosion properties, very good static properties, very good welding

and good machining properties
Good suitability for extruded profiles. This material is used for all load-bearing components (e.g.flanges, main supports, cross girders, diagonals, platforms etc..)


EN AW-6005 T6 AlMgSi 0.7 Rm = 255 N/mm², Rp0.2 = 215 N/mm²

Very good anticorrosion properties, good static properties, very good welding and good machining properties
Good suitability for extruded profiles. This material is used for platforms.


EN AW-6060 T6 AlMgSi 0.5 Rm = 195 N/mm², Rp0.2 = 150 N/mm²

Very good anticorrosion properties, very good anodizing capacity, good welding properties, very good suitability for extruded profiles
This material is used for covers, plates, screens and other components not subject to static loads or only exposed to low loads.

S235 JR (formerly St 37-2) Rm = 360 N/mm², Rp = 235 N/mm²

advantages of aluminum bridges

maintenance costs)
low weight (cost saving for foundation work and construction

preparation)
long service life due to high natural corrosion resistance of the material.
value retention, as material can be recycled
high sustainability of the material, as high recycling component with new aluminium
intelligent use of resources (material is used as the load of a pure pedestrian bridge requires).
individual design/adaptation of the profiles possible; saves connecting material and assembly time
short construction phase due to prefabrication at the factory

Weaknesses:
high market price of the basic material
limited profile selection, as mostly individual geometry and comparatively few standard goods in stock
risk of theft due to high raw material prices
degree of recognition is low, as "new" material in the area of application

Opportunities
“new" market with relatively little competition
trend towards personnel reduction among established customer base leads to need to use low-maintenance products
huge potential customer base, as interesting for "public sector" (all towns/cities, municipalities and organizations)
trend towards leisure-oriented society leads to increased need for leisure-compatible infrastructure among the customer base

Threats
greater recognition of the material in bridge building leads to greater competition
almost complete dependence on public sector customers with often limited budgets at present

advantages of aluminum bridges

construction
installation in just a few hours – no interruption to

traffic
corrosion free! No wear! Unlimited service life! Maintenance free!
environmentally friendly! Recycling compatible!
strength retention verified via tests
high load-bearing capacity
corresponds to the international standards for pedestrian bridges
flexible! Easy to move, modify, rebuild
economical, based to a life service of minimum 50 years. (Technische Universitat Darmstadt)
colour sustainability will look like new for years
