Zusammenfassung:	The present disclosure is directed to a pre-formed, continuous structural component (52) for use in assembling a modular rotor blade (16) for a wind turbine (10). Further, the structural component (52) provides support to the modular rotor blade (16) during operation. The pre-formed structural component (52) includes a root portion (60) and a body portion (62). The root portion (60) is configured for mounting the structural component (52) to a blade root section (20) of the rotor blade (16). The body portion (62) is configured to extend in a generally span-wise direction. Further, the body portion (62) defines a predetermined cross-section having a flatback portion (64) with a first end (66) and a second end (68). In addition, the first and second ends (64, 66) each have a flange (70, 72) extending perpendicularly therefrom. Thus, each flange (70, 72) defines a mounting surface for one or more blade segments.
