ABCs of Aluminum Structural Design: From Alloys to Buckling to Connections

These three webinars will familiarize attendees with aluminum structural design in accordance with the 2020 Aluminum Design Manual (ADM) published by the Aluminum Association. Compliance with Part I of the ADM is required by the International Building Code and the AWS D1.2 aluminum structural welding code, making it key to the use of aluminum construction applications in the US. Aluminum’s high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and formability make it the material of choice in many structures such as curtain walls, space frames, hand rails, and solar panel supports. While aluminum structural design is similar to steel design, there are significant differences, such as the reduction in aluminum strength when welded, and the availability of inexpensive custom cross sections through the use of extrusions.
