Abstract

A method of producing a fibre reinforced structural element including a plurality of fittings for the fixation of the element to another structural element, includes the steps of: (i) providing a core element of fibre reinforcement material having an end part; (ii) mounting a fitting on the end part to produce a subassembly; (iii) fixating the fitting to the end part in a pultrusion process that includes covering the subassembly in fibre-reinforced resin that is then cured; (iv) machining the subassembly to provide a fitting assembly including the core element and the fitting; (v) repeating steps i-iv for producing a plurality of fitting assemblies; (vi) positioning the plurality of assemblies according to the position of the plurality of fittings; and (vii) producing the structural element including the plurality of fittings constituted by the plurality of assemblies in an extrusion, pultrusion, or fibre reinforcing production technique.
