Trying to get started in Aluminum Structural Design
Trying to get started in Aluminum Structural Design
(OP)
Hi All,
Working for a company with plenty of experience in wood, steel and concrete. Just looking for some suggestions as to how to begin designing for aluminum structures... in particular temporary structures. I suppose I am just looking for a good book.
I am in Toronto, Canada - looking for a Canadian standards book, or at least with a limit states design approach.
Thanks, hope to hear back!

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

I have the related CSA (s1571-05)... Do you know if it is referenced in Denis Beaulieu's book?
I agree - why $300 for a book!?

1) Could never find one cheap enough.
2) The latest edition seems to be 2006 which is getting a bit dated.
3) I believe the author to be retired with no updates to the text being picked up by other parties.
