Fiber-reinforced composite member and method for producing structure using same

Abstract

A method for assembling a fiber-reinforced composite structure by connecting fiber-reinforced composite members to additional members, comprising the steps of providing at least one of said fiber-reinforced composite members with projections having information concerning the identification and connecting positions of said additional members, to which said fiber-reinforced composite member is to be connected, and positioning said additional members to said fiber-reinforced composite member using said projections.

1 . A fiber-reinforced composite member comprising projections having information concerning the identification and connecting positions of said additional members, to which said fiber-reinforced composite member is to be connected.  
     
     
         2 . The fiber-reinforced composite member according to  claim 1 , wherein said information is given by at least one selected from the group consisting of the shapes, sizes, number and arrangement of said projections, and marks provided on said projections.  
     
     
         3 . The fiber-reinforced composite member according to  claim 2 , wherein said additional members are provided with connecting portions having steps or recesses, which engage the projections of said fiber-reinforced composite member.  
     
     
         4 . The fiber-reinforced composite member according to  claim 2 , wherein said projections and said additional members have corresponding marks.  
     
     
         5 . The fiber-reinforced composite member according to  claim 1 , wherein said fiber-reinforced composite member comprises one or more pairs of I-shaped projections, and said additional members comprise rectangular connecting plate portions engageable with said I-shaped projections, whereby said additional members are arranged at predetermined connecting positions to said fiber-reinforced composite member when said rectangular connecting plate portions are engaged with said I-shaped projections.  
     
     
         6 . The fiber-reinforced composite member according to  claim 1 , wherein said fiber-reinforced composite member comprise one or more pairs of L-shaped projections, and said additional members comprise rectangular connecting plate portions engageable with said L-shaped projections, whereby said additional members are arranged at predetermined connecting positions to said fiber-reinforced composite member when said rectangular connecting plate portions are engaged with said L-shaped projections.  
     
     
         7 . A method for assembling a fiber-reinforced composite structure by connecting fiber-reinforced composite members to additional members, comprising the steps of providing at least one of said fiber-reinforced composite members with projections having information concerning the identification and connecting positions of said additional members, to which said fiber-reinforced composite member is to be connected, and positioning said additional members to said fiber-reinforced composite member using said projections.  
     
     
         8 . The method for assembling a fiber-reinforced composite structure according to  claim 7 , wherein said information is given by at least one selected from the group consisting of the shapes, sizes, number and arrangement of said projections, and marks provided on said projections.  
     
     
         9 . The method for assembling a fiber-reinforced composite structure according to  claim 8 , wherein said additional members are provided with connecting portions having steps or recesses engageable with said projections, and wherein said projections are engaged with said steps or recesses to arrange said additional members at predetermined connecting positions to said fiber-reinforced composite member.  
     
     
         10 . The method for assembling a fiber-reinforced composite structure according to  claim 7 , wherein said projections and said additional members are provided with corresponding marks.  
     
     
         11 . The method for assembling a fiber-reinforced composite structure according to  claim 7 , wherein at least one of said fiber-reinforced composite members is provided with one or more pairs of I-shaped projections, and said additional members are provided with rectangular connecting plate portions engageable with said I-shaped projections, said I-shaped projections being engaged with said rectangular connecting plate portions to arrange said additional members at predetermined connecting positions to said fiber-reinforced composite member.  
     
     
         12 . The method for assembling a fiber-reinforced composite structure according to  claim 7 , wherein at least one of said fiber-reinforced composite members is provided with one or more pairs of L-shaped projections, and said additional members are provided with rectangular connecting plate portions engageable with said L-shaped projections, said L-shaped projections being engaged with said rectangular connecting plate portions to arrange said additional members at predetermined connecting positions to said fiber-reinforced composite member.
