<p>A preformed component or 'preform' (11) for a structural member has a planar base with two longitudinal legs (15, 17) extending in parallel from the base (13). A channel (19) is defied between the legs (15, 17) for insertion of a plat panel (31) that forms the web of the structural member. The preform (11) is a composite material having continuous filaments of woven or braided fiber (21). The preform (11) is impregnated with a thermoset resin that bonds the web of the flange of the structural member. The perform (11) provides excellent structural support even if the web of the flange are formed from dissimilar materials such as metallic and composite. The resin is structurally reinforced with oriented fibers in such a manner as to provide coupling strength between the joined members.</p> |
