CHAPTER 20

ALUMINUM

User notes:
About this chapter: Chapter 20 contains standards for the use of aluminum in building construction. Only the structural applications of alumi-
num are addressed so it would not apply to the use of aluminum in specialty products such as storefront or window framing or architectural
hardware. The use of aluminum in heating, ventilating or air-conditioning systems is addressed in the International Mechanical Code (IMC).
This chapter references national standards from the Aluminum Association for use of aluminum in building construction, AA ASM 35, Alumi-
num Sheet Metal Work in Building Construction, and AA ADM 1, Aluminum Design Manual.
Code development reminder: Code change proposals to this chapter will be considered by the IBC—Structural Code Development Commit-
tee during the 2019 (Group B) Code Development Cycle. See explanation on page iv.
