A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The joint comprises a pair (12, 14) of complementary engineering grade polymer injection mouldings. Each moulding is comprised of generally equal length oblique webs (15), set at 60° to a mid-plane (16) of the assembled joint, shorter, inner webs (17) and a longer, outer webs (18). Centrally of each outer web (18) is an aperture (21) and centrally of each inner web is a pin (22) with a step (23) and a pointed head (24). The heads of one moulding clip into the apertures of the other whilst the steps determine their separation gap (25). The trapezium wave shape of the joint provides re-entrants (31) from the plane of the outer webs (18) towards that of the inner webs. Outwards of the re-entrants extend anchoring formations (33). Behind each re-entrant these formations are joined by a tab (34).
