AS/NZS 1664.2:1997 pdf download.Aluminium structures Part 2: Allowable stress design.
2.1 PROPERTIES OF SECTIONS Properties of sections. such as cross-sectional area, moment of inertia, section modulus, radius of
gyration and torsion constants, shall be determined in accordance with accepted methods of structural analysis.
2.2 PROCEDURE Computations of forces, moments, stresses and deflections shall be in accordance with accepted methods of elastic
structural analysis and engineering design. The formulas and methods for determining allowable stresses in this Standard have been simplified in many cases for ease of computation but are not intended to preclude the use of more rigorous analysis.
2.3 LOADING The loads on the structure shall be in accordance with the applicable parts of AS 1170 (Australia) or the applicable
parts of NZS 4203:1984 (New Zealand).
When computing allowable stresses in Australia, the most adverse load combination from the following shall be used.
