Summary

• The aim of this book is to provide a practical and simplified guide to the design of structural elements in aluminium, using the British Standards, especially BS 8118 'Structural use of aluminium', as its basis. The book is intended to give a broad introduction to the subject; there are more advanced books treating the research and theoretical aspects of aluminium, its alloys, temper designations, but none that consider the design of aluminium structures using BS 8118.
• The book is written as a text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of building, civil and structural engineering, especially those studying aluminium design; as familiarization material for consultant, contracting engineers and technicians, who design in aluminium or who check design calculations; and as a reference for those working on aluminium structures in the aerospace, offshore and marine industries.
