Technical guidance and inspiration for designing aluminumstructures
Aluminum Structures, Second Edition demonstrates howstrong, lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum opens up a wholenew world of design possibilities for engineering and architectureprofessionals. Keyed to the revised Specification for AluminumStructures of the 2000 edition of the Aluminum DesignManual, it provides quick look-up tables for designcalculations; examples of recently built aluminum structures-frombuildings to bridges; and a comparison of aluminum to otherstructural materials, particularly steel. Topics coveredinclude:
* Structural properties of aluminum alloys
* Aluminum structural design for beams, columns, and tensionmembers
* Extruding and other fabrication techniques
* Welding and mechanical connections
* Aluminum structural systems, including space frames, compositemembers, and plate structures
* Inspection and testing
* Load and resistance factor design
* Recent developments in aluminum structures
