This document provides information to verify the design of an aluminum curtain wall member subjected to axial compression, shear, and bending. It includes properties of the TUBE20x20x3 aluminum profile and 6063-T6 alloy. Calculations are shown to check the member capacity against applied loads for various limit states, including yielding, buckling, and rupture. The profile is found to have adequate capacity for the factored axial load of 1.035 kN in compression, factored shear of 0.273 kN, and factored moment of 0.079 kNm.
