The Aluminum Design Manual 2020 (AA ADM-2020), published by The Aluminum Association, is a technical reference for engineers, architects, designers, fabricators, and construction professionals working with structural aluminum.
It provides specifications, material properties, section properties, design methods, strength calculations, and practical guidance for aluminum structural members and connections. Topics include tension, compression, bending, shear, buckling, bolted connections, screwed connections, welded connections, allowable strength design, load and resistance factor design, sheet metal applications, and standard practices for fabricating and erecting structural aluminum.
Application Scope: Suitable for structural analysis, design, detailing, fabrication, and construction of aluminum buildings, bridges, industrial structures, platforms, walkways, and related engineered components.
