Aluminum Structural Design Code 1

[duand]

We have a big heavy (1 million lb load on 4 legs) vertical frame truss structure to be designed. Custom want use Aluminum, anyone can help me find a practical Design Code. It is better an Allowable Stress Design, just like AISC 9th Green book.

Thanks in advance.

Use ADM 2000....the aluminum design manual available from the Aluminum Association. It has both LRFD and Allowable stress design parameters.

Ron, thanks for your response to my request. I hope you can let me get some content of ADM2000, it is hard to get it on wibsite.

I appreciate your help
