Zusammenfassung:A self alignment structure for applications joining extruded members is provided. The self-aligning structure may comprise one or more bridge decking members including an upper panel and a lower panel connected by webbing members therebetween. One side of the bridge decking member have a void space between the upper panel and lower panel and an other side the decking member may have a vertical webbing member between the upper panel and the lower panel. The self aligning structure may further include an upper shelf and lower shelf, each extending horizontally away from the vertical webbing member, operable to align a neighboring decking member, forming abutment joints in preparation for the application of a joining application, such as a friction stir welding tool.
