Abstract
A recently designed footbridge canopy covering a concrete bridge at the Eindhoven
University of Technology campus is build up by aluminium plates containing perforations. The
perforations differ in concentrations, diameter and pattern. The aluminium structure was
adapted to improve global behaviour especially in relation with deformation requirements.
Further experimental and numerical research was carried out to investigate the failure behaviour
of perforated plates loaded by compression. It is concluded that the failure behaviour of
relatively thin aluminium plates in compression is very complex, even for non-perforated plates
(see [8]). Further fundamental research is needed to investigate failure modes and failure loads
of the perforated plates.
