<p>A composite structural member and a method for its production which are particularly useful when such composite structural member is to have a non-linear shape in its longitudinal axis. The composite structural member is comprised of a number of "U" shaped elements, flexible in their longitudinal axis, which are arranged in two groups of superposed elements, each group forming a comb-like structure having its leg portions facing each other and being closely engaged and firmly secured together. The method of production consists of placing a first element in contact with a rigid form having the required shape and successively laying the other element over the first element with their leg portions facing a direction opposite to that of the leg portions of the previously laid element and finally securing all the elements together before the composite structural element is released from the form.</p> |
