Technical tips and idea for designing aluminum structuresAluminum constructions, moment version demonstrates how robust, light-weight, corrosion-resistant aluminum opens up an entire new global of layout chances for engineering and structure execs. Keyed to the revised Specification for Aluminum constructions of the 2000 version of the Aluminum layout handbook, it offers speedy look-up tables for layout calculations; examples of lately equipped aluminum structures-from structures to bridges; and a comparability of aluminum to different structural fabrics, fairly metal.

Aluminum is not the only metal fabricated this way, but it is the most readily and commonly extruded. (Stainless steel can also be extruded, but it requires such great pressures that only small and simple stainless shapes can be made). The extrusion process makes aluminum an extremely versatile material for structural design. Rather than being limited to the standard rolled shapes, designers can concoct their own cross sections, putting material where it is needed. 2). 1 Engineer of the future extruding a Play-Doh I-beam.
The narrow dimension of the chase should be less than the root diameter of the screw. 9. 5) Gasket Retaining Grooves or Guides: In curtain wall, fenestration, and other applications, elastomeric gaskets are often required between parts. By extruding a groove in the metal that matches a protrusion on a gasket, you can eliminate the need for field assembly or adhesives. Usually the gasket is press-fit into the extrusion in the shop. 10. Care must be taken to avoid stretching the gasket during installation to prevent contraction of the gasket in the field to a length shorter than required.
