A discussion in another forum reminded me that I have a lot of detail design info and references on welded tubular steel, sheet metal and wood structures, but nothing on best practices for ultralight-style bolted/riveted aluminum tube & gusset structures.

Does anyone have any resources to suggest, from individual articles to actual reference books or a design handbook, any resources specific to this type of construction?


Cheers,
