Reconfirmed by: AS/NZS 1664.1:1997 REC:2020 Aluminium structures, Part 1: Limit state design
This Standard is technically equivalent to The Aluminium Design Manual: Specifications
and guidelines for aluminium structures, Part 1B: Specification for Aluminium Structures
Load and Resistance Factor Design of Buildings and similar type structures issued by the
U.S. Aluminium Association Inc.
The objective of this Standard is to provide designers of aluminium building type
structural load-carrying members and elements with limit state design criteria for use in design applications.
Statements expressed in mandatory terms in notes to tables and figures are deemed to be
requirements of this Standard.
Originated in Australia as part of AS 1664-1975. Previous Australian edition AS 1664-1979. Jointly revised and designated AS/NZS 1664.1:1997. Incorporating: Amdt 1-1999.
Reconfirmed: 2020-08-21This Standard specifies requirements for the design of aluminium building
type structural load-carrying members and elements. The limit state design (LSD) criteria
are intended as an alternative to the allowable stress design (ASD) criteria (see
AS 1664.2). One design specification (LSD or ASD) applies throughout the design of a
single structure.
