Figure:

Material Properties:
Aluminum Grade = EN AW-6060, T5
Proof Strength, fy = 120 N/mm²
Ultimate Strength, fu = 160 N/mm²
Modulus of Elasticity, E = 70000 N/mm²
Poisson's Ratio, ν = 0.3
Aluminum Density, γ = 27 N/mm³

Member Sizing:
Section Depth, D = 100 mm
Section Width, B = 50 mm
Section Thickness, t = 1.5 mm
Cross Section Area, A = 441 mm² [D x B - d x b]
Second Moment of Area, Ixx,yy = 592031 mm⁴ [(BD³-bd³)/12]
ɛ= 1.443 [(250/fy)^0.5]
Slenderness Ratio, β = 64.67 < 31.7 Class 4
Section Classification = Class 4
Ratio, β/ε = 45
Coefficient of Thickness, pc = 0.6
Effective Section Modulus, Weff = 8799.0 mm³
Effective Shear Area, Avy.eff = 170 mm² [2 x A/π]
Plastic Shear Resistance, Vpl.y.Rd = 12 kN
Plastic Moment Resistance, Mpl.y.Rd = 1.1 kN.m
Design Loading:
Dead Load:
Selfweight, w = 0.012 kN/m
Factored UDL = 0.017 kN/m [DL*1.4]
Design Span, L = 1.55 m
Design Bending Moment, MEd = 0.00501 kN.m < Mpl =1.06 kN.m OK!!!
Design Shear Force, VEd = 0.013 kN < Vpl =11.77 kN OK!!!
100x50x1.5t RHS is adequate!!
