    Aluminium Standards Calculations

    Hi, I'm a graduate mechanical engineer and am designing a small access platform in aluminium; structural engineering. This is not generally an issue, but what's with the AS/NZS 1664.1:1997 Aluminium Standards?! I would like to know if I am working along the right path and have so many unanswered questions. Do you know of a web link I could follow? I've searched high and low thus far.
    Hope you can assist. Cheers!

    For what? The standard is for sale all over the internet? Search google for "AS/NZS 1664.1:1997".
    Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

    This Standard, and the sequel, have so many formulas and options for slenderness; compression and bending.

    Does it not outline the different types of Aluminium sections/fixing arrangements that each formula relates to?
