    Abstract: A hollow tube assembly is constructed from two or more concave segments, each having longitudinal edges that are tapered perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the assembly with substantially identical tapers. The respective tapered edges are joined at respective joining faces forming scarf joints, either with or without applying an adhesive between opposing joining faces. The overall thickness of the scarf joint may substantially correspond to the thickness of the segments. The scarf joints may be straight or arcuate. The segments may be constructed by overlaying layers of a composite material made of carbon fiber reinforced polymers and may be provided in pre-impregnated (prepreg) form.
