Aluminum Structures: A Guide to Their Specifications and Design
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 Age Technical guidance and inspiration for designing aluminum structures
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 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 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

Metal Architecture
In recent years metal as a construction material has been experiencing a renaissance Its diverse qualities and versatility mean that it is an ideal material for many different applications. Architecture and industry have also discovered its aesthetic qualities, using it to cover theatres, museums, and exhibition buildings with shimmering layers of copper and titanium. It has become an integral factor in creating intelligent architectural solutions which meet the requirements of clients, investors and architects. "Metal Architecture" documents some 21 international projects which show not only the creative elements but also the economic advantages of metal. Of particular note are the Drive-Inn Restaurant in Slovenia, loft apartments in Los Angeles, and the harbour control tower in Lisbon. The buildings are presented with numerous colour illustrations and detailed plans. The book concludes with technical information and practical details on using metal in planning and construction..

Corrosion of Aluminium
This book highlights the practical and general aspects of the corrosion of aluminium alloys with many illustrations and references. In addition to that, the first chapter allows the reader who is not very familiar with aluminium to understand the metallurgical, chemical and physical features of the aluminium alloys. The author Christian Vargel, has adopted a practitioner approach, based on the expertise and experience gained from a 40 year career in aluminium corrosion This approach is most suitable for assessing the corrosion resistance of aluminium- an assessment which is one of the main conditions for the development of many uses of aluminium in transport, construction, power transmission etc. * 600 bibliographic references provide a comprehensive guide to over 100 years of related study * Providing practical applications to the reader across many industries * Accessible to both the beginner and the expert.

Aluminium Architecture: Construction and details
Aluminium is an extremely versatile material Light-weight and resistant to corrosion, it is a particularly suitable material for certain building requirements. Aluminium already played an innovative role in the post-WWII years, as can be seen in the work of the French engineer, Jean Prouvé. And because of its aesthetical qualities and great strength, aluminium is a highly rated material in today's sophisticated architecture. This book provides a systematic overview of the applications of aluminium as a building material, giving information on the properties of the metal and highlighting the latest technical advances. A selection of 25 international projects document the application of aluminium in load-bearing structures, facades, roofs and windows. Amongst the projects included are Toyo Ito's Aluminium House in Tokyo, Renzo Piano's Mercedes Benz Design Centre in Stuttgart, SOM's Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, and Norman Foster's Greenwich Transport Interchange..
