Abstract: A method of forming a structural member by connecting end-to-end first and second tubular structures, with each tubular structure having an inner tubular member (1a, 1b) located within a co-extending outer tubular member (3a, 3b) . The inner tubular member (1a, 1b) is longer than the outer tubular member (3a, 3b). The inner and outer tubular members (1b, 3b) of the second tubular structure are movable relative to each other in an axial direction.
