This document specifies methods for determining fracture toughness in terms of K, d, J and R-curves for homogeneous metallic materials subjected to quasistatic loading. Specimens are notched, precracked by fatigue and tested under slowly increasing displacement. The fracture toughness is determined for individual specimens at or after the onset of ductile crack extension or at the onset of ductile crack instability or unstable crack extension. In cases where cracks grow in a stable manner under ductile tearing conditions, a resistance curve describing fracture toughness as a function of crack extension is measured. In some cases in the testing of ferritic materials, unstable crack extension can occur by cleavage or ductile crack initiation and growth, interrupted by cleavage extension. The fracture toughness at crack arrest is not covered by this document. Special testing requirements and analysis procedures are necessary when testing weldments, and these are described in ISO 15653 which is complementary to this document. Statistical variability of the results strongly depends on the fracture type, for instance, fracture toughness associated with cleavage fracture in ferritic steels can show large variation. For applications that require high reliability, a statistical approach can be used to quantify the variability in fracture toughness in the ductile-to-brittle transition region, such as that given in ASTM E1921. However, it is not the purpose of this document to specify the number of tests to be carried out nor how the results of the tests are to be applied or interpreted.

1.1 Scope of EN 1999-1-5 (1) EN 1999-1-5 applies to the structural design of aluminium structures, stiffened and unstiffened, that have the form of a shell of revolution or of a round panel in monocoque structures. (2) EN 1999-1-5 covers additional provisions to those given in the relevant parts of EN 1999 for design of aluminium structures. NOTE Supplementary information for certain types of shells is given in EN 1993-1-6 and the relevant application parts of EN 1993 which include: - Part 3-1 for towers and masts; - Part 3-2 for chimneys; - Part 4-1 for silos; - Part 4-2 for tanks; - Part 4-3 for pipelines. (4) The provisions in EN 1999-1-5 apply to axisymmetric shells (cylinders, cones, spheres) and associated circular or annular plates, beam section rings and stringer stiffeners, where they form part of the complete structure. (5) Single shell panels (cylindrical, conical or spherical) are not explicitly covered by EN 1999-1-5. However, the provisions can be applicable if the appropriate boundary conditions are duly taken into account. (6) Types of shell walls covered in EN 1999-1-5 can be (see Figure 1.1): - shell wall constructed from flat rolled sheet with adjacent plates connected with butt welds, termed “isotropic”; - shell wall with lap joints formed by connecting adjacent plates with overlapping sections, termed “lap-jointed”; - shell wall with stiffeners attached to the outside, termed “externally stiffened” irrespective of the spacing of stiffeners; - shell wall with the corrugations running up the meridian, termed “axially corrugated”; - shell wall constructed from corrugated sheets with the corrugations running around the shell circumference, termed “circumferentially corrugated”. [Figure 1.1 - Illustration of cylindrical shell form] (7) The provisions of EN 1999-1-5 are intended to be applied within the temperature range defined in EN 1999-1-1. The maximum temperature is restricted so that the influence of creep can be neglected. For structures subject to elevated temperatures associated with fire, see EN 1999-1-2. (8) EN 1999-1-5 does not cover the aspect of leakage. 1.2 Assumptions (1) The general assumptions of EN 1990 apply. (2) The provisions of EN 1999-1-1 apply. (3) The design procedures are valid only when the requirements for execution in EN 1090-3 or other equivalent requirements are complied with. (4) EN 1999 is intended to be used in conjunction with: - European Standards for construction products relevant for aluminium structures; - EN 1090-1, Execution of steel structures and aluminium structures - Part 1: Requirements for conformity assessment of structural components; - EN 1090-3, Execution of steel structures and aluminium structures - Part 3: Technical requirements for aluminium structures.

WARNING Persons using this document should be familiar with normal laboratory practices. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of any other restrictions. IMPORTANT — It is absolutely essential that tests conducted according to this document be carried out by suitably trained staff. This document specifies methods to determine 99Tc by liquid scintillation counting (LSC) in water supplies, drinking water, rainwater, surface and ground water, marine water, as well as cooling water, industrial water, domestic, and industrial wastewater after proper sampling, handling, and test sample preparation. The detection limit depends on the sample volume, the instrument used, the background count rate, the detection efficiency, the counting time, and the chemical yield. The minimum detectable activity of the methods described in this document, using currently available LSC apparatus, is approximately 5 Bq·l-1 to 20 Bq·l-1, which is lower than the WHO criteria for safe consumption of drinking water (100 Bq·l-1).[4] These values can be achieved with a counting time of 60 min for a sample volume varying between 14 ml to 40 ml. The method presented in this document is not intended for the determination of ultra-trace activity concentrations of 99Tc. The method described in this document is applicable in the event of an emergency situation, but not if 99mTc is present at quantities that could cause interference and not if 99mTc is used as a recovery tracer. Filtration of the test sample is necessary for the methods described in this document if suspended solids are present as the methods presented in this document can only be used to determine soluble 99Tc. The analysis of 99Tc adsorbed to suspended matter is not covered by this method. The analysis of the insoluble fraction requires a mineralization step that is not covered by this document. In this case, the measurement is made on the different phases obtained. The final activity is the sum of all the measured activity concentrations. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the validity of this test method for the water samples tested.
