The present invention relates to a clamping arrangement (24) for attaching a structural component (22) to a structural member. The structural member comprises a planar part (18) defined between two substantially parallel faces and a bulb (20) on one side only of the planar part, the bulb defining a sole surface (32) substantially orthogonal to the planar part, an oblique surface (34) and a rounded surface (36) between the sole surface and the oblique surface. The clamping arrangement (24) comprises a first clamping part (38) configured to abut against the face of the planar part directed away from the bulband to extend underneath the sole surface. The clamping arrangement (24) also comprises a second clamping part (40) defining an oblique surface which abuts against the oblique surface of the bulb. The clamping arrangement (24) further comprises an actuating arrangement (42) configured to urge the first and second clamping parts towards each other in a direction substantially orthogonal to the planar part and thereby clamp the structural member therebetween.
