IS 8147 : 1976 Code of Practice for Use of Aluminium Alloys in Structures

1 Scope

1.1 This code of practice covers the use of structural aluminiumalloys in all types of structures except for bridges and pressurevessels. It deals with This alloys:

a) Principal alloys - 64430 (H30), 65032 (H20), 63400 (H9) and54300 (N8)

b) Secondary alloys - 24345 (H15) 31000 (N3) 52000 (N4) and53000 (N5)

1.2 The provisions of this code are generally applicable torivetted, bolted and welded construction.

1.3 This code gives only general guidance as regards the variousloads to by considered in design. For the actual values of loadingto be used in the design, reference should be made to IS :875-1964.
