•    Description:  In November 1967, the Aluminum Association published the first edition of the Specification for Aluminum Structures, which has proven to have a much greater influence than perhaps its original authors ever imagined. This article looks at the document’s history and purpose in providing designers the means to calculate the strength of aluminum components in structural applications. The Specification is now available as part of the Association's Aluminum Design Manual.
