ABSTRACT:
An intersecting structural member, and a method for assembling the same, allowing continuous structural members to intersect while also allowing one edge of each of the structural members to be bonded to a skin panel. A first structural member is provided with at least one bendable tab that allows an ingress area in the first member to be opened to permit the passage of a second structural member. The at least one bendable tab may optionally be designed in various shapes, with or without material reducing regions, may then be closed, interlocking the members and producing the intersecting structural member. This structure and method may be used to eliminate the need for welding collars around the member intersections, reducing labor, materials, weight, complexity of joining, and improving resistance to metal fatigue at the intersections.
