Bearcat, I am familiar with the and ADM, although I have not used any versions prior to this and am unfamiliar with their format. The version moves toward a style of code that resembles the AISC Steel Construction Manual in general format, and breaks down the limit states for each member designation closed, open, singly-symmetric, etc I believe the formulas have changed somewhat in as opposed to the version you have posted.
The text you referenced is a good one, although I do not know of an updated version. The closest you could come to that would be to attend one of Randy Kissell's author of that book and principal author of the Aluminum Design Manual seminars on aluminum welding and design, which from first-hand experience is a worthwhile course. Hope this helps some I am reviewing Chapter E: Design of Compression Members, regarding effective length factors for members the only reference is in C.
The way it reads is that all members shall have an effective length factor of 1 unless justified by rotational analysis for a value smaller than 1. I am confused as normal effective length values vary by boundary conditions of a member such as fixed-fixed, pinned-pinned, etc. Is this table still applicable or have the equations taken this into account?
If the table is still applicable why is it not included in the ADM or am I not looking in the correct section?
You bring up some excellent questions. What is the Aluminum Association's response? Are they approachable? I would think they would have a technical committee that would support their code. I'm thinking of updating my ADM but will wait to see if they are responsive.
Bearcat, In Section E. This is all that I can ascertain as to the reason why higher values of "k" are not used. I am not sure why it was changed from the version to the current Breadcrumb Home.
