aluminum design

Does anyone know of a good book that has design examples on how to design aluminum angles for use in structures?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: aluminum design
One caution with aluminum is that all structural shapes have some level of tempering (T-0 thru T-6+), so design for welding requires significantly reduced allowable stresses and the yield stresses change with temper, obviously.
RE: aluminum design
Also consider weldability, corrosion resistance, formability, etc.
What's the general application (marine, aircraft, buildings, etc.?)
