CP 118:1969

This standard CP 118:1969 The structural use of aluminium is classified in these ICS categories:

• 91.080.10 Metal structures

This Code of Practice covers the use of aluminium for all types of structure except those for which there are specific alternatives; e.g. BS 1500-3³⁾ for pressure vessels, and BS 3989⁴⁾ for lighting columns. It deals with the following materials:

Principal alloys: H30, N8 and H9.

Supplementary alloys: H20, H15, N3, N4, N5 and H17.

Other alloys: Advice is given, conditionally, on the use of alloys not listed above.

Design recommendations for the use of aluminium in all types of structure except those covered by other standards. Deals with three principal alloys (H30, N8 and H9), six supplementary alloys and gives advice on others. Sections on material, loading, design, testing, fabrication and erection, protection. There are thirteen appendices.
