Randolph Kissell, PE -- The TGB Partnership, USA; Michael Skillingberg -- The Aluminum Association, USA The Aluminum Association’s Aluminum Design Manual (ADM) contains the reorganized “Specification for Aluminum Structures.” The International Building Code requires specification compliance, and changes directly affect all aluminum extrusion building applications in the United States.
