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. Each of the female end section and the male end section is a respective unitary casting.
