There is disclosed a method of forming a floating connection between a structural member and a wall member, the method comprising securing a rigid connecting element to one of the members such that it projects from that member, along a substantially upright axis, into the other member, whereby there is formed, between the element and said other member, a sliding fit which permits relative movement between the element and said other member parallel to the axis but precludes relative movement between said element and said other member perpendicular to said axis, thereby allowing the structural member to move parallel to the axis but transferring, from the wall member into the structural member or from the structural member into the wall member, loads perpendicular to the axis so as to brace the member from which it transfers the loads. |
