Technical guidance and inspiration for designing aluminum
structures
Aluminum Structures, Second Edition demonstrates how
strong, lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum opens up a whole
new world of design possibilities for engineering and architecture
professionals. Keyed to the revised Specification for Aluminum
Structures of the 2000 edition of the Aluminum Design
Manual, it provides quick look-up tables for design
calculations; examples of recently built aluminum structures-from
buildings to bridges; and a comparison of aluminum to other
structural materials, particularly steel. Topics covered
include:
- Structural properties of aluminum alloys
- Aluminum structural design for beams, columns, and tension members
- Extruding and other fabrication techniques
- Welding and mechanical connections
- Aluminum structural systems, including space frames, composite members, and plate structures
- Inspection and testing
- Load and resistance factor design
- Recent developments in aluminum structures
