INTRODUCTION Alan White Design Ltd has been commissioned by APOLLO CRADLES Ltd as consultants to provide design and detailed calculations to allow the safe use and manufacture of the Aluminium X-beam as per BS EN 1999-1-1. The report investigates various lengths of X-Beams under various loading conditions from which the minimum values are then used to extrapolate an easy to read graph and table for allowable working loads for the various loading methods. This report is intended to provide the information necessary for scrutinising verification authorities to discern the relevant structural engineering aspects for this aluminium structure. This report provides the details of the loading methods and structural capacity of all members and their performance in the structure. The results for each loading method for a 3m, 6m, 9m, 12m, 15m and 18m X-beams are given and summarised. The overall recommended allowable values are then tabulated.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The X-Beams can be used in a variety of methods and a variety of locations and it is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that the recommended results from this report are a suitable assumption for their usage of the system, all based upon restraint to top & bottom booms at 1.0m c/c.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY The X-Beam is made up a top and bottom boom both using Alu scaffold tubes, with Alu scaffold tubes verticals at 1m spacings. These vertical are then braced using Alu rectangular hollow sections in a 500mm wide X shape, with two of these brace systems between each vertical.

ANALYSIS Detailed structural analysis has been completed using STRAP structural analysis software. This model was subjected to the worst possible loading conditions to determine the structures expected maximum stresses. This model has been used to identify the member forces and deflections in the structure. Hand calculations have been incorporated to check element capacities and the maximum stresses were compared to the allowable stresses to verify the safety of the structure.
CONCLUSIONS The recommended allowable loadings for the X-Beam according to BS EN 1999-1 are contained at the end of the report.

The brief is to prepare calculated values for the capacity of the Apollo 750mm deep X-BEAM to BS EN 1999-1-1. The beams are manufactured from tube extrusions in aluminium alloy 6082 T6.
Alloy
The alloy used is 6082 T6: f o= f u= 250 N/mm2 290 N/mm2
Layout
The geometry of the beam is shown in the drawing below:
