Aluminum Structures: A Guide to their Specifications and Design
About this episode
A comprehensive guide on the structural design and engineering applications of aluminum, particularly in building and bridge type structures. Key topics include working with aluminum, detailing product forms like extrusions, sheet, plate, forgings, and castings, as well as various coatings and finishes. Furthermore, it addresses the material properties for design, such as strength, modulus of elasticity, and the effects of welding and temperature on mechanical properties. Finally, the text explains structural design procedures for members under tension, compression, and bending, and contrasts the Allowable Stress Design (ASD) and Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) methods.
