Structural support member having a tapered interface
Abstract:
An interface for a structural column includes a female end section that includes at least one first sidewall that extends from a first end along a longitudinal direction and defines a first cavity. An interior surface of the at least one first sidewall tapers transversely outwardly along the female end section towards the first end. The interface also includes a male end section that includes at least one second sidewall that extends from a second end along the longitudinal direction and defines a second cavity. The at least one second sidewall is configured to be received within, and oriented in substantially face-to-face adjacent relationship with, the at least one first sidewall. An exterior surface of the at least one second sidewall tapers transversely inwardly, complementary to the at least one first sidewall, along the male end section towards the second end.
