First published in 1992. Aluminium is a relatively new material,
first used on a commercial basis just over 100 years ago. Today it
has taken its place alongside other traditional materials as an
established building element. In this variable reference source,
John Lane discusses the history and development of aluminium usage
in the building industry. Its characteristics of strength,
lightness and durability, coupled with easy formability, make it
and ideal medium for this market. The first section of this book is
a general discussion of the metal, covering such areas as its
properties, alloys, fabrication, joining and finishing. The second
part details the aspects of aluminium which are of particular
importance in construction, while the final section highlights some
of its major uses in architecture and building. The text is amply
illustrated with diagrams and photographs, and the appendices
provide the reader with comprehensive details of relevant standards
and contact addresses.
