Despite its unique and enormous advantages, most engineers fail to consider using aluminum, even in structural situations where its strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance should make it the metal of choice. Aluminum Structures: A Guide to Their Specifications and Design offers engineers, designers, and architects a comprehensive guide to designing aluminum structures and, consequently, a rare opportunity to expand their design capabilities quickly.
This book's broad coverage includes the properties of aluminum, its structural performance in beams, columns and members, aluminum fabrication, welding and mechanical connections, and its inspection and testing. Special attention is paid to those features of aluminum that differentiate it from other structural materials, most particularly steel.

Work Description
On the First Edition:"The book is a success in providing a comprehensive introduction to the use of aluminum structures . . . contains lots of useful information."--Materials & Manufacturing Processes"A must for the aluminum engineer. The authors are to be commended for their painstaking work."--Light Metal AgeTechnical guidance and inspiration for designing aluminum structuresAluminum 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 alloysAluminum structural design for beams, columns, and tension membersExtruding and other fabrication techniquesWelding and mechanical connectionsAluminum structural systems, including space frames, composite members, and plate structuresInspection and testingLoad and resistance factor designRecent developments in aluminum structures
