Technical guidance and inspiration for designing aluminum structures now in its 2nd Edition
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 reference 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. 544 pp.
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.
