Zusammenfassung:Rotor blade components for wind turbines 10 having interlocking edges 50 and methods of manufacturing same are disclosed. In one aspect of the present disclosure, the rotor blade component includes a plurality of pultruded members 40 arranged in one or more layers 38. Each of the pultruded members 40 are constructed of a plurality of fibers 42 joined together via a cured resin material 44. Further, each of the plurality of pultruded members 40 includes one or more interlocking edges 50. Thus, adjacent pultruded members 40 may be aligned via corresponding interlocking edges 50. The pultruded members 40 are further secured together to create a single structural member.
