AS 1664-1975 SAA Aluminium structures code Metric Units
Standards Australia
Supersedes: Doc 1571 (1970) SAA Aluminium structures code Metric Units
The code applies to the design and fabrication of aluminium structures and is presented in a similar format to AS 1250, SAA Steel Structures Code; however it is emphasized that steel designs should not be directly copied as many types of welded connections used in steel fabrication are entirely unsuitable for aluminium structures. For welded aluminium structures particular attention shall be given to the design of welded connections and the possibility of failure of members by local buckling.
This applies to the design and fabrication of aluminium alloy load-carrying members.
